Nope. It's a problem with Windows using non-standard single characters
to represent fractions. These non-standard characters are interpreted in
different ways. Depending on what the news server software does with
non-standard characters, I sometimes see a ? and sometimes funky Greek
letters. I never, ever, ever see the fractions. And I would imagine that
other Mac users and people who read news with a shell program don't
either.
