Well, Don, if you call this "working", the copy of your message I 
received from the old list was fine, but here is a shot of how the 
copy looked as it came from the myptg forums, which demonstrates 
perfectly what I wrote in my last posting.  Every time you use a 
non-US-ASCII character, wuch as a curly quote, the system throws a 
wobbly and re-encodes the thing several times.  It then has the nerve 
to declate the message "Content-Type: text/plain;" without any 
suggestion of encoding.
