The character that appears on my computer in the messages on this topic is a capital S with a little "v" above it. option-; results in an ellipses, and I believe that's how it has always been on the Mac's US keyboard.

I tracked it back to here:

Looks like an ellipsis to me. I think the subsequent S is a bad conversion. You can see it in the quoted portion of my email where I used an ellipsis.


Jon

I just see this thread.

Right, I typed the ellipsis in Mail as I always do:  alt + semi-colon.

I apologize if it appears as a nuisance.
In fact, it appears correctly when I received my original message from the forum.


I really don't understand how it became
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed"
as I never use Windows (Microsoft products are not permitted to enter my home).


After that,  it was "modified" in other messages.

It would be fine if all Internet tools where using Unicode so this kind of oddity was definitely escalated.
