Once again I have to offer my apologies. The email system in GSK defaults
to sending in UNICODE which I am informed gets corrupted even without
attachments. (Perhaps I should go back to using pine!)
I am sending one last time via my legacy Reading account in the hopes that
at least this still behaves in a predictable way!
