Hello. I am a low end Mac user on this G3 equipped 8500 running Eudora 5.1. Character encodings in the upper ASCII range were once fairly well defined until Windoze changed things. Character set "windows-1252" causes problems for me that are far worse than top posting. Those "smart" quotes are coming out as superscript 3 and 2 characters or as greater than or equals depending on the blah-blah setting of Eudora. I would really appreciate it if users on this LOW END MAC list would either stick to low end ASCII or use Macintosh machines for posting. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
