Hallo mark!

 ml> they don't appear in this editor properly but i hope they will in
 ml> the final posted reply

Given you're replying with an editor with "CHRS: CP437 2" set, which is an 
8-bit character encoding and the original characters were 32-bit, then the 
answer is that they are no longer what they were intended to be.  I see them 
both as 0xa8 in your quote which in CP437-speak is the upside down question 
mark.  There are no emoticons in CP437 so the original characters cannot be 
converted to CP437 ... or any other 8-bit IBM/MS character sets that I am aware 
of.

From my perspective the true quote test will come from Nancy since she has a 
real text editor (emacs) that doesn't mess with characters despite the fact she 
also lacks suitable fonts to view them.  So unless her offline host has the 
"loses an eye" bug everything should be okee-dokee.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
