Charles, I see these sometimes also, even in some of the posts I originate. I don't know what those specific symbols mean but they are used to denote some kind of symbol, like parenthesis or a letter with an accent over it, and for some reason and at some times are not translated correctly by Yahoo!. I think it has something to do with the difference between the various forms of character representation in TEXT, RICH TEXT, ASKII, EBCDIC and HTML - and probably others.
