[Dixielandjazz] Grave issue

[Jerry Gordon]

Robert,
I don't know whether it works on a Mac, but if you have a PC, you can hold
down the ALT key and enter the appropriate ANSII code on the numeric keypad
to create accented characters. For example, ALT-130 creates é (that should
look like an "e" with an acute accent) and ALT-148 makes ö (an umlauted
"o").
The next question is whether these characters transmit properly through the
djml mail system.
