But we're talking a digest here -- surely an email client is going

the charset of the digest message, and not the component emails. Do
you know
what gets used for this lists digests?
I hadn't noted that Scott said it was the digest - thanks for the
pointer.
Even so, a good email client and digest software would have its
character
format triggered by any non-ascii characters in the final (digest)
message
and subsidiary message charset headers.
It's looking likely that the flaw may be in the list's digest
software that
is probably ignoring non-ascii characters and headers for some reason.
That's the only explanation that makes sense if Scott and other digest
readers saw question marks rather than chevrons when reading my
message in
the digest.
I receive only the digest, and I saw the chevrons in Paul's original
message, so neither the software which produces the digest nor the us-
ascii charset preclude the correct character being displayed under at
least some circumstances.
I have to confess to an only-barely-non-negative knowledge of
charsets, encodings, content-types and the like. About all I can state
is that I'm using Mail.app Version 3.5 in OS X 10.5.5, with Text
Encdoing set to Automatic.
