Now that is strange - on my PC the alt-code characters were scrambled in
Bev's original message, but appear as intended in the quoted message in
Adele's reply :-)
Go figure...

Thanks, Bev, for the reminder of the plain text usage. Anybody old enough to
have grappled with e-mail in its early days will remember this usage, and it
does work quite well, though not as pretty as actual bolding and italics.
Now, I really must see if Alt-3 makes a heart; on my Apple “Alt” is Shift +
Option, so Shit-Option-3 gives me: ‹ Rats. Just a pointy thing. On the other
hand, Apple gives me a couple of different ways to make a little apple:

A way to indicate them in plain text is as follows:
An asterisk at either end of text is *italics*.
Two asterisks at either end, **bold**
An underscore at either end, _underline_
Some online chat-rooms will convert the * ** and _ to the real thing.
Another test: I'm wondering, if I use alt-codes, if other non-English
letters show up, such as
the c in Alençon, the o of Tønder, the u in Cantù
If not, I'm sorry about the garble...
If I press Alt-3, will you all see a little heart ♥
If not, here it is in text <3
