Thanks, Andy, but you *greatly* over-estimate my ability to spot non-ascii characters! :)
When I cut and paste material from non-ascii sources, it is very easy for my aged eyes to mistake an em-dash or an en-dash for a hyphen, or to miss a "curly" apostrophe. I'm hoping to avoid the problem if at all possible rather than have my recipients let me know about them. Some are severely disabled and operating the computer takes considerable time and effort (e.g., when using a headpointer & puff switch to choose each letter for an email). I'd like spare them having to notify me that a message showed up in non-US-ASCII form. I was hoping that there might be some display in PowerMail that would tell me if my message was in US-ASCII or, if not, some other way I could find out.
