And it's still correct here in the quotation. But what were you
seeying in pager in Jussi's mail? Lets count... 4 up in thread from this
one (4 times <parent-message> I mean), on the line:

Your paste? What do you mean?

Yes: uppercase A with tilde.

As it's still an A tilde once quoted by you, it's most probably the
glyph in your font that lacks the tilde over A. It's the case with Linux
text mode console too, before you use setfont to load another font in
video card: the default VGA hardware font has no A tilde, so the kernel
transliterates it to a simple A at display.

I'll be glad to help (if I can) when you want, a mailing list is an
asynchronous media.

And it's an underscore you quote! What's up here, I don't know. This
doesn't fit even loosely in any case I've seen...
What did you see in raw message piped to less?
And what here ==> "�" (same code in Latin-1, should be monetary sign)
And here ==> "�" (invalid char in Latin-1, should be octal)
Bye! Alain.
