I read posts with Agent and get an odd interpretation of your dashes..

In the original post they look like this:

when I quote them back as at top of this post they are correctly
displayed as a (long?) dash.

Is this a mistake or are you subliminally trying to convert us to the
euro?

Neither. I think it's due to "issues" with "extended" ASCII; they ought
to display as a long dash and only be visible as "a-carat Euro-symbol
double double-open-quote" in the raw message text, and display
"properly" as an em-dash on the screen.

However, if you (and presumably others) are seeing them incorrectly, I
will try to remember to replace them with "--" when I next post the
announcement.

Thanks for pointing it out!!



Best,
Stephen
