I hardly rate as an inexperienced computer user, but I do not see
polytonic Greek text in the B-Greek digests. I am using Thunderbird
e-mail, (2.0.0.9) and have made every setting I can find:
Tools/Options/Display/Fonts & Encodings/UTF-8; View/Character
Encoding/UTF-8; for my B-Greek folder Properties/General
Information/Default Character Encoding=UTF-8 - but no joy.
Does anyone on the list use Thunderbird to read the digest who can see
the polytonic Greek in the digest, or is the problem in the digest
itself? MH GENOITO!
