[RTTY] Question marks

[G. E. Janssens]

Hi Bill,

I got a similar looking email from "you" with the ARI scores about a month 
ago, remember?

That was most certainly not a "local" problem (and by that I mean a case of 
improper settings.). I looked at that one on my desktop, both on- and 
offline, laptop, and phone... they all looked the same: wrong.

I'm starting to think there's an email server somewhere between you and the 
recipient that's dropping a few bits or bytes. Possibly causing the 
character set to change, which would result in weirdness like this. Nothing 
you can do much about...

73,

Erik - K5WW
