If no one supplies one send out for fish & chips and insist they wrap
it in today's Sun, apparently the voucher is on page 48.

Same here, using a newsreader I doubt anyone else here is using! I get
'a acute' characters - three after 'Tel:', one after 'Mob:', and one
before the 01359 and the 07976. Also one (separated by a space) after
the web address on the last sig line. And there is a sig separator of
'--' rather than '-- '.

I have character encoding set to UTF-8 as default. Wondert if that is

be telling my Thunderbird what they are? (Not saying mine is configured
optimally. Just that is how it is.)

A quick look at some headers here shows that most posts that declare an

Quite a few of Anna's spaces in her sig are broken, being 0xA0 instead
of 0x20. A quick google for this sort problem suggests that the source
of
the 0xA0's is Windows users typing shift-space instead of space. Even if
you get her to fix the broken characters (and fix the broken sig
separator), this is probably quite a common occurrence so you may have
to get used to coping with this particular Windows 'feature'.

Put a single space after the "--" so that line reads "-- ".

The other issue seems to be due to what Forte Free Agent is doing -
anyone with experience of that and how to make sure it tells what

The only serious condition I've found on this deal is the discount limit is
£100.
So the discount is only on the £1500 of the purchase price.

Thanks Brian, I have just printed out a couple.
Do you think B&Q have actually read their own small print on the voucher?
It clearly says photocopies will not be accepted.
So how will they distinguish beween my offerings printed on a multifunction
printer,
and someone else who has had the cunning plan of printing one copy then
photocopying
to produce another.
Perhaps I should email B&Q to ask.

Hmm - maybe one of those was the reply to Anna where I used the View

The tag formatting might be down to the flowed format?

text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

But for simplicity and compatility (read - ignorance) I tend to use the

Well the voucher is colour (has B&Q orange on the ladies apron and the
text "We won't be beaten on price". But rejecting a black and white print
out is discrimatory against those with only a black & white printer and
anyway colour photo copiers are very common these days. As you say most
multifuction printers...
