I would gather from these headers that the reason the characters were transposed is because there is no encoding information in the headers of Allen's post. Entourage has to guess the character set and probably assumed "US-ASCII" whereas the original message Allen was quoting was probably in a different character set. The question then is "When did the character set headers get stripped and by whom?" It might have been MT-NewsWatcher in converting from HTML to plain-text or it could have been his server. -Remo Del Bello -- "Alcohol & calculus don't mix.
