I have no idea but.....? is the Euro symbol produced by the alt
key
alone on my Mac using what my own headers tell me is
Microsoft-Entourage/10.0.0.1309. I'll be interested to see how it
turns out when I see it as posted to the group.

PS: Having tried to press 'send' I'm now told this has to be sent
as
Unicode which might not work with 'older mail clients'. As I feel
that I fit firmly into that bracket, I'm going to say 'yes'.
Anything for a new experience........

OK, that displayed correctly on my OE: this is presumably because OE
is a Microsoft product, and you're using a Microsoft standard. It
won't always be compatible with ASCII, which is (as far as I know,
anyhow) the only universal standard. The Unicode thing rumbles on and
on; I've long since stopped thinking about it, but there'll be a
solution one day. Bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover, too --
just you wait and see...


Uh huh. While I'm waiting for that glorious day, what was the Euro symbol
in my post is a question mark in your reply. ;-(
I must be honest and say that I'm with Cat(h) with regard to using my
computer. For me, it's a bit like using my car. I want to turn it on and
have it work - I feel no need to know what goes on under its bonnet!
