The output, above, does not appear correct in my Internet Explorer 7 rendering of the posting from the archives, however the output appears correct in both the Outlook e-mail posting I sent and that which I received. IE7 is showing the output of the "ls -l" command incorrectly as foo<U+00C3> (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE), but Outlook shows it (correctly) as foo<U+00E9> (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE). It would seem that character encoding is getting corrupted somewhere between the Cygwin e-mail server and the archive server. --Ken Nellis
