[Ansteorra] spiffy e-mail characters (was: A question. . .)

[Alianorra MacAiodh]

If the letters are in Austrian I can take a look at them if you like. Its very similar to German and I can pass as an American who knows the language but since I dont think in I dont consider myself fluent. But I would rather help with the copies rather than the originals. If you would like a translation that is? ~Alia

Actually, the German characters on your original post came through the 
list just fine.  It was only when you quoted yourself back that they 
became question marks in my viewer.  I'm guessing it's a result of the 
preferences you've set for your e-mail client.  Which characters you 
can see on your screen when you open a message is controlled by the 
encoding you've chosen to have your software look for.
