   mmh.., and I thought the "A" in ASCII mean "American" ;)   
   but my question still is: if I'd sent such characters, will you

   Non-US keyboard layouts may show different signs on some caps, but I   
   know only National special characters above 128, while 128 became the   
   Euro-sign since a while.
