Alfonso,

I see your accents and such just fine, but some e-mail programs do not.
Apparently the list sends them through as is but then it depends upon what
e-mail program you are using.

Just a curiosity:

 I usually tend to avoid accents when writing to this list, because I don't
know if American users are able to see it or receive strange codes (I know
there is no problem with European users). Could you tell me if you can see
this characters as normal characters ?

a, i, m, q, ?,!

Thank you
