Re: [Phys-l] test : fancy symbols, utf-8 encoding

["Marc \"Zeke\" Kossover" <zeke_kossover@yahoo.com>]

I'm reading these in Yahoo Mail. None of the encoding
looks right to me. I also use FirstClass at school,
and none of the encoding looks correct there, either.
It only accepts plain text messages, and most of
John's message was simply rejected.

I cannot easily switch to another method. At our
school, we are not allowed to use POP mail or access
POP mail servers, so the only way I can get external
mail while at school is through Yahoo or similar
services. 

Our computers are pretty locked down. They don't
really trust us at all not to screw things up.

I'm including John's message, so that you can see what
I can see.
