Got it going.... seeing mem? Still no joy

[Michael B. Sayer]

Right - sorry for being so dense.  I now understand completely!  Thank you
microsoft for confusing me.  Strange little bug that.  There will be the day
when Linux is the Standard.

Many thanks to all for the help and patience and the explanation.

Michael

Oh - it now works :)

OK, I think we have it here.  From your mail headers:

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0

It looks like outlook is screwing up and trying to read "=19" (that should
read:
equals-sign 1 9, no spaces) as an ISO character-set escape.  This has bitten
others: IIRC Applixware had to change their mailer because their (correct)
mails
were being read as garbage by outlook (outlook being the standard, of
course, one
can't expect Microsoft to fix it to conform to the real standard).

In the append line you need to replace the 2 character sequence
"square-symbol 5"
by the 4 character sequence "equals-sign digit-1 digit-9 digit-1".
