I can't see that right (MacOSX Jaguar) in the email; to me it looks like a forwardtick and an, um, underlined 'a' -- but in spite of that, I'm game. It's just so pretty (when it works!)I use Mail.app, and saw the same thing you did. When I looked at the headers for Larry's email, I saw:
On my Mac, it's spelled «op» -- can others see that correctly, or do we have a sorry disconnect in the fonts, here, for us Mac folks?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8;
But when I saw yours, you had:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
This tells me that Mail.app, for some reason, didn't know that it was supposed to use UTF-8 when showing Larry's mail. When I pasted his mail into a UTF-8 document in Emacs, it looked fine.
Given that it's probably UTF-8 that Perl 6 source code is written in, I think that you and I might be better off using a smarter mailer.
