Sorry my messages couldn't be read by some people.
Here's what happened. The "plain text" components of my messages were =
sent out by our mail server using the ISO character set for the Western =
European languages including English. David Laibman's software seems to =
insist on the us-ascii character set.
As is so often the case with US technology, the US imperial standard is =
the norm and any applicable world standard is "foreign" and handled, if =
at all, gracelessly. :-)
I've set up our mail server to send mail using the us-ascii character =
set to recipients in the csuchico.edu domain, so OPE should get only =
us-ascii messages from me.
Tell me if this has sorted it out, and if so I'll repost the message =
about the axiomatisation of exchange via a universal equivalent.
Cheers all
Brendan

Brendan's axiomatization, and the conclusion he draws from it, seem to =
me to=20
be very important to this ongoing discussion. I have, however, this=20
technical problem: the email text (never mind the formatted version =
following=20
it, which I can only receive as gobbledygook), is filled with HTML=20
characters, so that equal signs come across as =3D3D, etc. (Since D is =
the=20
direct exchange operator, this creates mammoth confusion!) Some of =
Gil's=20
posts also have been hard to read because of HTML italics flags=20
and other formatting instructions surrounding variables.
If I am the only straight-email dinosaur on the list, then I will suffer =
in=20
silence. But if it is not too much trouble, could direct posts to OPE =
be=20
done in plain text, so that they can be read easily?
Much appreciated.
