As you can see, your use of accented characters at the end of your message caused your entire message to go out as rich text, which means that when it runs through this list software it becomes loaded with garbage characters. Perhaps it's a fault in the listserve software that RTF gets translated to ASCII, and not a true bug in Mail at all, but I can't help but notice the problem only affects people who either use Mail *or* are sending HTML mail via Outlook Express/Entourage. _Chas_ Come to ...
