Unfortunately, you seem to have some sort of character set issue; the quotes you use come out as question marks in the digest version, and as superscripted numbers in the web archive. I haven't seen the headers of the individual-message version of this list, so I don't know what character encoding your messages are originally sent under.

You could also do with a little quote-trimming; while you do reply inline rather than top-posting, you still insist on leaving in all of the original message including headers, trailers, and other irrelevant material, so there's sometimes a lot of excess stuff both above and below your reply.

No character set info in his headers, but he does have this:
User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.0.6
Which sounds like trouble.

Daniel,
This is my very first experience with a Mailing List of any kind. Please bear with me. Are you saying that, when replying, I should delete all other material on the original message except the exact statement(s) I am replying to?
Help!
