There is a problem with accented characters in some webpage text areas. (and as this note contains accented characters I fear it may not be readable by all mail clients) These two links demonstrate the problem. Link (a) accepts accents, link (b) does not. (a) http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt (b) http://translate.google.com/ You can see the behavior by:- setting the language pairs to Spanish/English, and pasting the following text SILLÓN: respuesta positiva de Yoko Ono a John. then clicking Translate. For me, at any rate, the Google page replaces the accented character by a question mark. If I replace the accented "ø" by "O" Google manages to read it. The Yahoo page works without complaint. I think this is a NetSurf feature rather than Google's as on Linux Firefox Google accepts the accents. And FWIW NetSurf has always behaved this way.
