You still seem to have some character set problems with your mail program; in the digest version, your quotes and apostrophes come out as question marks, while in the web archive:

they're superscripted numbers. What do people who get the messages in single-message form see? The header as shown by this message in the digest has the content type as text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1", which is a character encoding that doesn't have so-called "smart quotes" (curly quotes and apostrophes) in it, so if your mail program is trying to insert them, this is bogus. You should stick to plain ASCII straight quotes.

Dan,
Thanks very much for pointing this out again. I think I know what the problem is. I have a FileMaker Pro database that I keep various writings and notes in. The font is Mac Geneva. In this case I cut and pasted that last paragraph directly into the email without changing the font.
I'll keep a closer eye on it.
Thanks again,
Marc
