While we're waiting...

I'm thinking I should start introducing/referring to jwg as my fiance (and conversely, of course).

[Note: I really wanted to spell that with the accent, but PC-ignoramus that I am I can't figure/find out how to produce diacriticals. Any advice (for future reference) would be greatly appreciated.]

What you see in plaintext mail is what I type. For example, the phrase

é

is me typing ampersand amp ; e acute ; (without the spaces) to get the web interface to display

é

which is ampersand e acute ; (without the spaces). (The ampersand is the start of an HTML special-character sequence, so if I want a plain ampersand as the "and" symbol or as a raw-HTML character I have to escape it by adding the "amp;" since "&" generates "&," gack.)

On MacOS, option-lowercase-E then the lowercase-E should generate the é character itself. On Windows, it's usually some escape like Control-Alt-Numpad(123) for the unicode sequence. (I hate Windows.)
