It's an amazing mix of people here. Obviously not only
geographically and professionally, but also age-wise.
Few ladies though...

I was "talking aloud" on the mailing list... Most people
won't get it right. That's for sure.

:)

You don't need any particular keyboard. Just a mail client
that manages to present Quoted Printable right. I see
a lot of stuff on my screen that I don't have keys for...
I'm surprised that it came as QP though. I have turned
that of (at least that was my intention--maybe Eudora is
playing tricks with me), and just send 8 bit (wildly assuming
that people will be using Latin 1 or some similar code page).
That way, some people might not see it correctly, but fewer
will see that QP garbage. It messes up the python code!
