Where is it safe?

People should use what works for them and quit making value judgements about other people based on what laptop they pull out of their computer bag.

I use the "best tool for the job" as much as possible; my issues with Microsoft (and/or Apple) are with their business practices, not their technologies. In the "real world", everyone ends up using Windows for something.

That said ... I also expect the tools I use to comply with the existing standards, instead of being proprietary and non-interoperable in a way that makes my data less portable; these malformed posts are an excellent example.

KathyH's mac is probably doing UTF-8 when it should be plain ASCII or at least ISO8859.
