Re: [lace] Testing whether Italics will process on Arachne's Old Server

Dear Spiders, The appearance of extended ASCII characters (the proper term for these unusual characters) has nothing to do with the age of Arachne's server at panix.com. Servers and software ARE updated, swapped out for newer models, and patched. Just because you have been on Arachne for 20+

On your Mac, if you go to the system preferences and choose “Keyboard”, you can check the box that says “show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar”. This puts a little icon in the menu bar that allows you to pull up the two viewers from the desktop… the Emoji viewer is the same one you

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

Hello again Jeri and everyone First, ditto Shirley T. ! The arachne list is an ongoing delight. Jeri, your underline, bold and italic won't be seen in any country. It isn't the server, it is the software. Our set-up permits punctuation but not formatting such as bold, italic and underlining. A

RE: [lace] Testing whether Italics will process on Arachne's Old Server

Your test here in Australia came through as with others, Jeri. Punctuation but no italics, or bold, or underline. I would welcome a change to another email exchange base, as messages from some members of Arachne get truncated as soon as they use an unusual character like an apostrophe, and I

Hello Catherine, Jeri, and everyone The mail list software will only show as plain, any formatted text (bold, italics, etc.) . See how it looks at the mail archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/msg50834.html Idea: write the review on a blog for instance, to get the desired text
