   Like Michiel said, it's not an actual fix.  It just makes the posts look   
   better.

   Oops.  I dunno...

   I agree.  Even the Wikipedia sample looks crap.

   Maybe change the "defaultread []" setting in your ~xlat file?  Try   
   CP850.  I'm thinking about changing it too, to that.

   Paul.
