Hi John,
That could explain it. I'm using IE6. I use the forum Post Response, I know the format will stay the same.
I think that a few posters use Word for their posts, the format change does effect 'special' symobols.
I do use Word for writing emails but I disabled the autoformat thingie. I'm not keen on having a machine second-guess me.
