In fact, it is very funny to see all the T-shirts in Austria with pictures of Kangaroos on them, stating "The kangaroos are all in Australia!" I always thought that this was for the Americans who don't know where we Aussies are, but in my travels, I have found that no one really can tell the difference. That made Jon's joke much better for me.

Plus, I'm pretty sure Jon was making a joke, playing on the fact that
other people sometimes confuse Austria and Australia.  I'dexpect at
least most of the folks on this list to know the difference, but
certainly the Europeans like Yvan do.  It's mostly us dumb Americans
that make that sort of mistake.

Fortunately the Australians use no umlauts and Accents but the
Austrians do.

Darn when are you guys ramping up on your geography lessons :-)

Hello

As I received this message as a personal one, I tried to respond the
same but my message was rejected as:

host 216195434.mail.exchangelabs.com[65.54.247.8] said:

So I post it here.

Hello Mike,

(a) why are you sending this message to myself ?

I'm not the one which made the error. It's Jon Pugh in its message :

I'm hanging out for the Unicode-aware case changers. Although now I see
someone is stealing your terminology for them...



Yeah, those extensive Australian umlauts and accents would require that. ;)

OK, this spurred me to some action. I'll look for the algorithm to
upper and lower unicode properly and incorporate it.  I've already
removed the old ASCII scripting addition calls in lieu of "id of
character" and "character id" and it does indeed fail the upper and
lower process with accented characters.

Of course, proper unicode case changing is quite simply, HARD.
Looking into it, the case mapping file is over a megabyte and there
are numerous rules which need to be implemented.

(b) when you send a message to someone, it's unfair to set your
account so that the recipient can't respond.
