If you are using ordinary fonts, and legal html, all characters with accents
display correctly in ISO-Latin-1/ISO-8859-1/us-ascii.  I do it all the time!

Some people can't manage that though.   Outlook Express is part of the
operating system.  I deleted Netscape because the only good thing about it
is Mozilla.  And redownloading it just to read usenet will not work, because
my news servers (to quote the techspeak of which I have no understanding)
use the Sicily process, whatever that is, and Microsoft's products are the
only ones that support it.  (in other words, I can't even LOG ON with
Netscape, much less read...)

Okay?  I hope you're not mad at me for minor flamage, because it's not
*your* fault... (OE should know better than to apply one setting to all
messages in a group) but there's nothing I can do about it :(
