yep, a quirk. I have decided it is much better to not send bullets as they actually come out as GREEK characters. It appears that
they come out ok at the other end, but cc's in pmmail are greeek. You can correct them in a preview window for resending or
something by highlighting the bulletted area and changing the font back to arial or whatever - then it shows up ok again. best to
just not use bullets in pmmail in my opinion. Also best not to use tabs as they act wierd at the rcving end also depending on font
you use and the rcvr uses I think.
