Perhaps some readers may not know what the compose key is good for.
Using compose plus
two other key-strokes, will get you just about all the diacritical
marks
used in most European languages,
common fractions, currency symbols, degree signs and other things I
can't think of. And they're all
Spanish: ¿ ¡ señor, tío: German: Straße,
Fräulein; French: hôtel, françoise; épinards; Italian: è; ½, ¾ 75°:
€30, £40, 50¥, 10¢. Just combine the letter
with a symbol, or in some cases, just type the letter twice, and
voilà!
I'm aware of that. My comment wasn't about the substance of the message
but how it was posted. It's actually a reply to an earlier post on this
list, but wasn't sent as such.
