When I ran RH Linux 5.2, the only one I ever got mail to work on,
I could use the alt + xxx to get special characters, just
like I could do in WordStar so many moons ago. I.e., alt +241
(on the number pad) gives the plus/minus sign. I can't do it
in Eudora, unfortunately. I wish I could. I need umlauts and
things like that.)
