Well, I have not yet mastered cutting/pasting between pages yet, but
the letter you sent contained these lines:
content-type: text/plain; charset ISO-8859-1
content-transfer-encoding:7bit
A search using http://www.pcwebopaedia.com found no entries for
US-ASCII; indeed, isn't this a redundant term?
I am at a loss to explain these things...
