It depends. Most of these characters are not ASCII but Latin-1, an extended character set. If a Central European user (Latin-2) looked at your example, it would look more like "mdnordty retort" than "minority report", and in UTF-8 mode Mozilla renders it as "M???r?ty R3??r+". To find these characters you have to use a lookup program like xfd (X11), Character Map (MS Windows) or Key Caps (Mac OS, IIRC). In this group you should stick to the ASCII character set (codes 32-126), or your post might look different to different users. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
