If so, Eudora is "broken", I > guess. :( Nearly every Windows-based newsreader and mailreader are broken in this regard, last I checked. Newsgroups use spoiler characters more, so there is some demand for a newsreader that supports them. The actual character is defined in ASCII, however, and thus applies equally to news and mail readers. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org)
