Interesting. I create my group messages working through the online interface of the forum. My last several postings have been copied and pasted from Word 2007, and I paste them using the Yahoo "Rich-Text Editor" option.

Messages from roughly December to February were more likely copied and pasted from my Linux machine, where I used another word processor (Star Office?) to create the messages.

FWIW, I see the same problem that Brian mentioned with a couple of characters in my post. Not something that I had noticed with previous posting, but I usually am looking at other people's posts rather than my own.

This will be interesting to play around with to see if I can get the postings to consistently show Icelandic characters (assuming the character encoding is set correctly).
