Here you go:

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.

The problem in his message is he is sending in UTF-7 (some version of
Unicode *I think*) instead of ISO-Latin/8859-1 or us-ascii.

Pras, make sure you change your Language Font from "Universal Alphabet
(UTF-7)" to "Western Alphabet" so that other people can see you!

(I saw it just fine though, even though I've had munged UTF messages before.
Ah well.)

Hi there. I'm reposting this message, because the first one had some
problems... I'm sorry about this, but I didn't know my posts were turning up
like that with other newsreaders, because Outlook Express could read them
normally!

How about caffine in the effect form! LOL This guy has got the shakes.
That's it no more coffee for him. I'm "sort of" sorry, I just couldn't

Those vertical double bonds just don't seem to look nice in ascii.
Here's the best I could do:

      O=C---N
       /     \
  H3C-N       C=O
