As for the degree sign -- how does this look to you?
10

the numeric key pad. Don't forget to have Num Lock on. Unfortunately I
don't
know what the equivalent is for MacOS.
symbol correctly when it left here, but only the subject line contained it
when the message came back from the list. Hmmm, interesting!
The list is vanilla - neither Windows nor Mac,
It looks like the above message suffered the same problem.
I wonder if sending messages in HTML would render correctly when translated
back to plain text?
The list software used for FiberNet has no use for HTML, and the
result would be a mess. The digests become huge and unwieldy.
A year or two ago I sent the Swedish word for shrimp sandwich -
rdksmvrges - to the list, and respondents seem to have gotten it as
intended.
The Swedish characters should look as follows.
d an a with two dots over
v an o with two dots over
e an a with a small circle over
I will send a message from a current Mac system and see what we get
using a Swedish character set.
