Below I have tried to use html code to write Pali diacritic marks in an e-mail. What I found is that when I send it to someone they don't see the diacritic marks. When they reply to me I see the diacritic marks in the message that I sent. Does anyone know how to make this work in e-mail and in Open Office word processor? I use XP Yahoo and Firefox. I would appreciate any help.

thanks,
Dipa
