Ross's posts drive my mail user agent nuts. They seem to contain
control characters, both in the raw and in quoted printable. It looks
like it might be byte-reversed fixed-width Unicode, but his headers
specifically say ISO-8859-1.

Are you using Windows 2000, or writing mail using Word 2000, Ross? Or
do you have some explicit setting to use Unicode?

Is anybody else seeing this? I'd blame my MUA, which is a beta and
locally hacked version of VM running on a beta XEmacs, except that I
know from past experience that Outhouse Excess is quite happy to
spew nonconformant garbage into the mail system. This is the first
time I've seen it from a (I assume) native English speaker running in
a (I assume) purely English environment, though.
