Thanks, Dan.

I wonder why someone would toss HTML coding into something distributed by
plaintext e-mail--instead of doing it as you did in your explanation; the
latter didn't look strange at all.

Actually, the latter wasn't exactly as it should appear; it was my client's
way of rendering characters that are not in the UTF-8 (or whatever)
specification that text mail delivers. I've noticed people using many other
special characters in emails, and perhaps that definition's author (or the
dealer) included the special characters without realizing they'd be
stripped/transposed somewhere along the line by a non-helpful client.

To view the def as it is really supposed to appear, you can save it (or the
whole def list) to a text file with a .htm or .html extension, and then view
it with your favorite browser.

Ah, but I didn't do any HTML coding. I just pasted the characters I wanted
in from Character Map, like I always do. But what I did not notice was that
my email client was set to send mail in HTML.

I do actually know not to send characters that are not in the Windows
character set, but I was in a hurry and didn't check, and in any case I
really wanted a subscript dot, not an acute accent.
