  Maybe if I try again, in UTF-8 encoding this time.  Meanwhile just for new content, I hear that corrupt perjurer Gonzales has just resigned.  Hooray.


  I just read about it on tdwtf[*], so I wondered if it would work here too.

Firefox, on Windows, does indeed render the middle text in 
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/3877 (link to the post I 
am replying to) in "correct" direction. So it *does* work (yes, UTF8 is 
required).

Thunderbird on Linux is unaffected.

  My FF doesn't show anything unusual at that page.  What version are you using?

2.0.0.6 on WinXP Pro SP2 (32-bit). Obviously, it works for some people 
under some circumstances. (Or is it working in my Thunderbird (2.0.0.6 
on RHAS4) and not my Firefox? In FF the middle text is normal LTR. In 
TB, it's "backwards", RTL. Knowing you, I'm not going to assume what 
direction you actually typed it, though :-).)

  Well, don't ask me any questions, ..... I *might* not tell you any lies ...

You need UTF-8 encoding (View->Character Encoding->Unicode (UTF-8)).

OTOH, the Cygwin list web archives seem to be doing some encoding
translation of their own, as that character looks like a sequence of "a"s
with circumflexes.

  It picked that automatically anyway.  No, it's because I've tried a 1.0.x and a 1.5.x series FF and Matthew's got 2.x

  Every time we quote it in a reply, it gets more and more mangled.  I can hardly wait to see what it does next.  (Now setting encoding of this mail to UTF-7 for extra mungetastic fun!)

Ok, I'll bite.  BTW, "!" seems to indicate a colon... :-)  Oh, what
