Yep, and the gunner, and of course Laz showed right up when the discussion turned to characters.

You are a strange character and there is no workaround available to deal with it.

There’s a name from the past - is ClassyGreenEyedBlonde still around?

There are problems with more than the characters you listed.
All of the special characters in my signature block are workarounds.
For example, é, is correctly rendered by inserting &_eacute; (without the underscore) in the HTML.

I swear I was!

Hopefully John will be able to fix the problem at the server side so that this isn't an issue, but in the interim, this would work. Using the Geany application to convert those special characters only takes a few seconds once you've installed it, so it's not too much of a hassle. Mark I am not sure you answered my question .. at least not directly. To confirm .. each user would run this program on each article they read (assuming they wish to do so). Yes or No?

Welcome, mate. Although I am not the original poster of this information (Charles Henrickson is in post #21), I feel this is a very handy tool and we should pass the word on it for future reference.
I already have it saved to hard drive for future reference. :)

And of course, BookMarked as well.
Just in case I lose track of the hard drive copy.
