Well please explain why it reads the first post correctly, but replaces the pound sign with the n-tilde when reading dog's post. Now it may be that your newsreader displays both correctly, but it's quite clear that dog's is changing the character coding in some way too. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

well, i've changed my setup to completely ignore mime and not send any mime headers hopefully, so whatever i quote will just be the ascii payload of whatever anyone originally sent. that may or may not be a better experience for everyone.
Ant's post used the ISO-8859-1, and QP encoding. Dog's port used UTF-8, and straight 8-bit text. Agent was happy with the former, but not the latter, and the subsequent posts from you and Champ used basic 7-bit ascii, which changed things irrevocably.
