Bizarre...when I read Dirk's message they were garbled, but when Rich
"quoted" them and sent them on using mutt 0.95i, they appeared as Dirk
intended.  The difference seems to be that Dirk's message was in

  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ibm850

while Rich posted with the better known

  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Apparently for some reason* Dirk's mutt 0.95i has a problem with ibm850
while Rick's doesn't and neither does Dirk's mutt 0.79.

* Sorry I can't be more help than that.
