I checked out the encoding on Pat Hickin's original post, and it was indeed UTF-8. It appeared fine (no weird characters) in Outlook 2007, so I guess my reader handles UTF-8.
Despite that, like Ron, I still get the weird characters. For me, it appears that it is in the original text quoted in replies where the person replying had a newsreader that mangled the character set. I.E. once mangled, that text will continue to be mangled on all future replies to the group quoting it.

That still doesn't rule out UTF8 in these messages :-) -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
