Hi list,
I am not an expert, but I am quite sure that the circumflex characters
has to do with settings in the e-mail program on one end or the other. I
didn't see that anyone of you mentioned which e-mail program you are
using. I do personally use Mozilla Thunderbird as my preferred e-mail
client, and it handles various character sets fine right out of the box.
Mary's circumflexes looks strange here too, though, and I guess you
should have a closer look at the character set used in your e-mail
client, Mary.
OK, slightly off topic from the usual Optacon things, but I couldn't
resist commenting on this. :-)
Best regards from central Norway
