Re: Domainz -- Ringing Helpdesk Phones
While we're on the subject... The letter below seems to consistently substitute commas ( , ) for apostrophes ( ' ). Is it just me, or is there some top secret Domainz, character mapping or MIME type I should be using to view this text? Can anyone confirm that the original letter is also formatted this way? Sorry to be pedantic, but when someone sends out a letter like this that has the potential to cause confusion among the herd, I like to make sure I know *exactly* what I'm dealing with. Regards, Rob.

They show up as "?"s to me. This is standard microsoft foolishness, such as the demoronizer was designed to combat. http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/demoroniser/

The herd are more than likely running with the same broken tools as Domainz, in which case the bogosity should be nicely concealed. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
