The character 95 you seem to be fond of is not part of the character
set you use for your news postings.

I am using Linux. But I guess that does not count as a UNIX based OS.


** I don't know Rob. I am using Apple's 10.4 OS.


It doesn't matter anyway.
The OS has nothing to do with this.
Your news program is broken, or does not expect the use you make of it.

As your news program does not tell what character set you use, you should
limit your characters to the 00-7F range.

Check what is in your fullname config setting.


** I am not using an OS with such a setting in the system prefs.


Probably it is in your news program.
Somewhere you have set that your name, "95 R. L. Measures.", has to
appear above your news postings.
When you change that to "R. L. Measures" all trouble is gone.

And don't insert that character in replies either.

There is a character
with hex value 95 there. But you don't have the matching character set
header that is supposed to tell what that character should mean.

(without a character set header, the default character set is 7-bit ASCII
which does not include 95)
