Re: $Symbol in Email Explication

Explication or not, it is impossible to determine which if any '=20' and
'=3D' are part of the text and which are artifacts of HTML email. Such
email is an abomination. If I knew how, I would automatically delete it
upon receipt. If Forth, Inc. knows how, I suggest that they not display
such communications in this forum. The information they could impart is
probably outweighed by the confusion that a bad transcription could
engender. How long did you need to make sense of the line above the
carets below?
