This article copied from http://www.world-science.net/ has what I
regard as an insane typographical feature: Every word is
pre-hyphenated with a non-ASCII byte value.  Looking at the original
site, I see that it uses *two different* non-ASCII byte values to
pre-hyphenate every word so your software must have translated those
bytes.

Is it not possible with the usual MS Windows tools y'all use, to run
stuff copied from web pages through an editor that will elide this and
other useless artifacts, reducing text to plain ASCII before putting
it into email?  And (while I'm griping) is it intentional that many posts
to FW are sent in "quoted-printable" encoding of a Microsoft font that
uses non-ASCII characters and as both text and HTML in
"multipart-alternative" MIME duplication?

Well, maybe doing email in ASCII is too much for a cranky old geezer
such as I, who doesn't even have a facebook page, to ask.  If so, I'll
just shut up and go back to making bamboo splits for by buggy whip
manufactory.

And I'll try write something substantive on topic next time.
