Could be. Although it was mentioned that a copy/paste from the web (Google translate) was involved, as well as importing a text file to Golded, so who knows. I rarely saw the issue before this one time, and those issues were because of no CHRS kludge and/or my software not being able to translate from "unknown-8bit" to UTF-8 (usually CP437 messages that are not actually marked as such).

Obviously only nit-picking going on at this point. :)

Regards,
Nick
