In fact, I've <never> seen that > message, now that I think of it. Anything that can be done with keyboard set to standard mac Roman, using option key etc., such as �, �, etc. does not require Unicode (UTF-8) character format. (Of course, those 'upper-ASCII' characters will be read differently by some mail servers.) If you have a language kit (OS 9) installed, or are availing yourself of OS Xs equivalents, and then mix languages (some English mac-Roman mixed in with another language character set such as Japanese, Central European, whatever), then it has to be sent in Unicode to handle both. this can easily happen if you're responding to an email that came with a foreign character set which you can read (even if just in the subject or signature) and you are responding in English. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
