Admittedly, if it DID reach me as one, I would be worrying how you
had hacked into my computer :-) Usenet uses ASCII - there is no
Euro symbol in ASCII.

Alt + 0128 = Euro
Alt + 0208 = Deutchmark

OK, I'll try.
Alt+0128...?
Alt+1208...Ð

How'd I do?

Deutchmark OK, but Eeroqusetion mark.

But then, the font I use (Fixedsys) doesn't have the sign in it.
