What newsreader are you using? Whatever it is, it is totally messing up
many characters for other people.
ASCII characters are showing up as five-leter combinations, starting
with a +, ending with a -. For example, < (shift-comma) is showing up
with "ADw" between a + and -, instead of <. > shows with an "AD4".

Heres how whatever was in your last ascii turned out (I changed the +'s
to *'s so that your newsreader doesn't translate them back)

I suggest you go through your news reader configuration, and change your
message type, or anything like that, to "quoted-printable" (or something
like that).

Or else get a newsreader which doesn't use such specific codes.
