Well, thought I was conservative, obviously I lag... ;)
Set your MIME features on (most mail systems 1998 can handle that),
and you can use almost whatever strange characters you want...
(roast moose, carrots and gravy, dammit)
After all, what is a chile-head without Spanish...

---------------------------
Use MIME features for Internet and local mail MIME is an an Internet
standard that allows mailers on different systems to exchange binary
data and messages using International characters. If you check this
control, WinPMail will use MIME encodings to represent accented and
special characters, and to package attachments so that other MIME-
compatible mail systems can read and convert them. MIME is a very
powerful standard, and the only time you should not check this
control is if you believe your correspondent may not be using a MIME-
compatible mail system.
