I don't.? I didn't see it until someone
replied with a
copy of the offending text included.
I see the extra spaces, which are non-break spaces. I think the reason
John was seeing uppercase A-circumflex characters is because Ed's email
is using UTF-8; however John's email client isn't respecting the header
that says so, and is using Western (ISO-8859-1). NBSP in UTF-8 is
A-circumflex in Western.
Amusingly, Bill's reply also contains a NBSP (after the full stop in
"don't".), which displays as A-circumflex when I change the coding in my
client.
