Sorry, just my morning rant.
Since you mention it, why should we have to add P.S. notes like that to
begin with? Shouldn't an Apple-run list server dedicated to supporting the
AppleScript community support characters used in Apple's AppleScript
scripting language? Meanwhile, if they are archiving the list traffic, they
are not only making life hell for us, but for anyone who searches the
archives later on. The sooner they fix this problem, the better, if you ask
me. IMHO, this should have been planned and implemented when they switched
servers, not after.
Sorry, just *my* morning rant.
