I think I learned this trick on ding years ago and I've misplaced it... I used to have a couple of lines of elisp in my .emacs file that mapped the 8-bit latin1 curly-quote characters to straight quotes so that I didn't see \xxx in my messages. Can someone remind me of what those couple of lines are? Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh | It does not do harm to the mystery to http://nwalsh.com/ | know a little about it.
