John,
I can never quite get used to reading your messages with these ridiculous
escape codes spread throughout. This has been the case pretty much since
you first signed on to this mailing list.
See above.
I've tried to tolerate it (and have strained to make sense of what is
going on with your messages) but I have to object finally. It seems
special punctuation characters (brackets, apostrophes, quote marks) are
being escaped in some wacky fashion.
What the hell is going on with your mail sender?
