The sysadmin from my polling site complained to me about the same problem,  
and a friend of mine polling that site posts NeXT-style all the time on  
accident.

Don't put any non-ASCII chars in messages to non-NeXT machines. If you do the  
message will look non-NeXT but will go out with uuencoded stuff. Watrch the  
big triangle on the Deliver icon; that'll keep you informed.
