Most memorable issues: * "don<decimal-180>t" (standalone accent aigu) rather than "don't" (apostrophe) * "<decimal-160>", non breaking spaces * cp437 encoding in some files (heh, heh, DOS!) * iso8859-1/utf-8 mixed in some files My compose key is hot now... None of you people screw that patch with your buggy MUAs! I'll pack it up into a .bz2 to get it marked as application/octet-stream to not even give your MUA the chance to. ;-) [and because it's 221 K uncompressed and I am not sure if splitting it up makes much sense for such 'trivial' changes, or not?] Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <[email protected]> -`J' --
