Eric,

When I got your message, there was a warning from Pine at the top that 
your message was not in US-ASCII text and used "unknown-8bit". I would 
guess that your mailer uses a non-standard text format, and that when you 
sent your mailtpl to LISTSERV, it translated it into standard ASCII and 
in the process changed some of the characters in it.

Just an idea.

John
