The 1/2 is quoted up there above...the character preceding "the mother of".
And after "all sites" is just one character...it's the top-right corner of
the DOS charset's double-outline box.

Nah, not a hassle...a curiosity...I can't figure out why I'm using the same
charset in mutt, but it displays oddly. Unless mutt doesn't ACTUALLY
invoke the charset on the linux console, and I would have to do that with
setfont or something.
Anyone clueful on this?

[~N] in .sig now...and you needn't have redone it. No apologies
needed...I'm probably just not understanding how mutt/linux/charsets all
interact, and would like someone to briefly explain to me where I'm going
wrong. :)
