I don't know what the "oersted" is, but to my knowledge, I've never used any non-ASCII characters in my subject lines, so I wonder about your comment, above. On the few occastions when I've contributed no-text posts, I usually indicate them with (n/t) at the end of the subject line, if memory serves.

I vaguely recall some glitch when trying to respond to one of Tom's posts in the last week, or so, and getting some message about the browser 'back' button, but I'm fairly certain I don't make any of the heinous subject-line formatting errors of which I stand accused.
