[pmmail-list] Strange character substitutions

[Carl Gehr]

Just FWIW, I received my copy of the posting [see below] with all of
the characters as I typed them.  This makes me suspect it is the sender
of some mail that is creating the problem.  But, how do I know what
they are doing so I might suggest that they are causing problems?

Thanks,
Carl
