I can no longer use quotation marks and apostrophes in the e-mail I send -
the program does not recognize them. This affects my livelihood. I'm a
freelance journalist and use e-mail to file stories. My local
access provider - the greater new orleans freenet - did not have any
advice. What can I do? Is it the character settings? How can I alter them?
I use a Mac Performa 475. This occurs with files I export from a
word-processing program (ClarisWorks). Thanks for reading this.

>word-processing program (ClarisWorks). Thanks for reading this.

Make sure you've got curly-quotes (otherwise known as "smart" quotes) turned
off in ClarisWorks. They don't convert to regular " characters when you import
the file to a UNIX environment, and will either disappear or show up as 
control characters (Ms and Md, I think?). The option to turn off smart quotes
should be somewhere in the Preferences selection of the Edit menu, I b'lieve.

Cheers,
Mick

Hi Katherine:
	I think you need to be a bit more explicit about what you mean by 
exporting from a word-processor.  Are you using FTP (or KERMIT or 
whatever) to transfer a document to your unix homedirectory?  If so, are 
you then uuencoding the document before e-mailing it?  You probably need 
to provide details of this sort before anyone can offer helpful suggestions.
