Hello,
further to the concerns expressed in the "Eudora" thread,
I'd like to point to an easy solution: exploit the euro
entity defined in the last line of
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html>
which was already defined in HTML 4.0 as of 1998-04-24.
Every decent browser should handle "€" legibly, even
if no Euro symbol is available in the fonts at hand. E. g.,
Netscape communicator 4.7 displays "10,23 EUR", in my Irix
system, where Netscape Communicator 4.75 has "10,23 ¤",
on my PC. (Note that this message is tagged as ISO 8859-15
and the previous sentence contains a true Euro symbol).
Even "10,23 €", as displayed by pre-4.0 browsers, is
legible to some extend.
For an example of this technique, go to
<http://www.rz.uni-konstanz.de/Antivirus/TVD/index.html#B-Lizenz>;
you may wish to try this with your own browser.
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
