 ML> Curious - how does my ‡ (c with a cedilla) show up on your setup?

In the reader (MultiMail) it shows up as it was designed - a "c" with the
pigtail hanging off the bottom. In Notepad++ it looks like you took the ++ and
turned it on its side (stacked a + on top of another). So the "cedilla" version
is hosed. The tzadei/gamma looks as it should.

Heck, given the really nit-picky, straining-at-gnats subjects accepted as
subjects for doctoral dissertations - the range of "nit-picky,
straining-at-gnats subjects accepted" could be a doctoral dissertation in and
of itself.   Bv)=

Yet they are allowed some latitude. I don't see lobster rolls here in the Great
American Outback. But, we do get bratwurst in the fall season ... probably due
to our proximity to Sheboygan. And the Mickey D's vary widely in quality and
service from franchise to franchise. I did a "secret shopper" gig for a while
had actually got paid to evaluate a number of Golden Arches. What I found was
that the small town McD's were overall better in service and food quality than
the ones in the bigger cities. May have to do with ingrained work ethic, etc. I
dunno.

True enough. I have no idea what they all ate in common ... and as it didn't
affect me directly ....
