a false sense of security since both render the posts perfectly, but
when I save the Outlook Express, it claims to have received
text/plain but some characters have been replaced. And Google
'show original' does the same. I suppose 3 dots must mean
something to someone so it substitutes the middle one.
Agghhh.

You may want to look at cygwin, which gives you as much unix as you
would like under windows, all the way up to X.

When you can't have the real thing, it's not a bad substitute.
