Could you repost this without the formatted text? A lot of the

Nope, didn't work.
This is interesting--someone else commented that something I had posted
(in rec.food.baking) also had unreadable text, even though I'd posted it
from a plain text source using a text-based news client. From this end,
a bunch of the numbers in your post were replaced with "pi" symbols,
e.g., what would be a number before "teaspoon Orange extract" and
"teaspoon Banana extract." Were those fractions?
My thoughts are either
1) the original source had a formatted fraction--i.e., a single
character for a fraction rather than three (number, slash, number), that
was displayable in your client. You're using Netscape 4.76, right? (it
says Mozilla in your headers). That might well send formatted text
without it being obvious.
or
2) somehow, certain characters are getting corrupted during propagation.
BTW, it's just Scott. Heimdall is simply part of an email address. I.e.,
I assume that your name is not Margaret Suran Msuran.

ah, thought as much. Are they all 1/2's?
Margaret, You are fine, your post is in plaintext, you are posting correctly,
message reads fine in Arial font.

Scott, my best guess is that you are using a font that does not produce
the same characters as the more expected ones. No reason except
custom for say, 0101001 to show the same character in all fonts, and
many fonts introduce special characters that only show correctly in
_that_ font. To see what I mean try reading with the font "Wingdings"
or "Webdings" if Newswatcher will permit and if they are even available
on a Mac.
Try, oh, Arial, or Lucida sans typewriter or times new roman... for viewing.

Varying the display font did change anything, and I ran through a few
that have COMPLETE character sets (including Arial). As Pierre noted,
"all those pi lettrers are a single character 1/2 (one half) fraction,
like this "½" I made with my 863 page code."
Such characters should not be used in Usenet.
Didn't help for me either.
