It appears that some of you may think that the meal costs thirty nine pounds. It is in fact Nine pounds and seventy five pence. Apparently not everybody's computer recognises the sterling sign. Geoffro

> Apparently not everybody's computer > recognises the sterling sign. Email is sometimes sent as 7-bit data. The pound sign requires 8 bit data. In order to accommodate that a pound sign is often encoded as =A3, which can be very confusing. Most email applications will automatically decode this, though not all, and some need a bit of a nudge to decode it (I press U on mine). If in doubt about encoded characters, if there is a group of three characters and the first is = and the second one of 1,2,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F then it's encoded. Hope that helps. _________ Dave Stiles http://www.linkcheck.co.uk (Web Design Services) http://about-bristol.co.uk (About Bristol Pictorial Tour) http://bristolindex.co.uk (Bristol Index business/community)
