Excellent, Qermaq.  Thank you.  You help a lot of people by 
investigating that situation.  You've verified the problem I 
suspected and suggested a better system, too.  I'm pleased.

Another work-around I was going to suggest, for people who can't 
change the font in their mailers, is to compose the text using 
something else -- Notepad, a word processor, edlin -- then either cut 
and paste or save as ascii and import to the mail window.
