Michael, you seem to be having some problems with UTF-8. I know that a few people still use only ISO-8859 locales, but for most people (and particularly in Xorg - your mailer identifies itself as thunderbird) UTF-8 just works. In my mailer, all I see in the original post is spaces where you have 'Â ', but copying the file out and using hexdump -C I can see that the bytes in front of YACC are c2 a0 20. Using the UTF-8 decoder at http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/utf-8.html tells me that c2 a0 is a no-break space, U+00A0. If you are not using a UTF-8 locale, please consider trying it. If you are using UTF-8, maybe one of your environment variables is set to a legacy value. I normally read mail in an Xorg term, and UTF-8 lets me read almost everything (about once a year I see a list post from somebody whose name is in CJK glyphs where I do not have one of the glyphs in my fonts), at least until a non-UTF8 reply trashes it ;) For console fonts things are different (a maximum of 512 displayable glyphs), but good console fonts should be able to map non-break space and other common punctuation to something sensible.
