{Still looking for data on 2SK2175 MOSFETs}

I had written:

And his mail software is

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4

There appears to have been a fallback character translation, from the
degrees symbol "0" [a superscripted circle] to a zero "0".  I have a
choice of sending this international standard character as either
eight-bit or quoted-printable.  I'd love to know whether the source of
this translation is my mail client (Netscape Communicator), the
distribution list server, or Microsoft Outlook Express.

I know where I'd place my bets.
