I am using Mac OS X, and when I type option-2, I have a perfectly
good euro sign. If that comes out as a currency sign on some other
systems, it isn't *my* fault. I'm not willing to spell out "euro"
while being able to type $ and ¥ and ¢! I could go back to EUR and
USD and JPY....
Anyway I can't do anything about what Eudora sends out at present.
