What do the ??? symbols represent?
I see you are still stuck in ISO-8859-1 and deprived of international characters and symbols. (And this reply in ISO-8859-1 too accordingly; normally I use UTF-8.) Unicode and UTF-8 FTW! :)
oh very good, very good but forgive me, how is that supposed to answer my question? Paul
My mail reader also seems to lack proper unicode support. I could figure out what the symbols were (and verify the message arrived uncorrupted in UTF-8) by saving the message and using another program. Perhaps something similar would work for you. The unicode-bearing paragraph of Scott Bricker's message reads It's natural to define a partial order among sets from inclustion: A less-than or equal to B if and only if A subset of or equal to B. Viewing sets as predicates, the corresponding relationship between predicates is implication. A subset of or equal to B if and only if x element of A implies x element of B - so predicates are naturally ordered by implication. Viewed as sets, the predicate that always returns False is equivalent to empty set - the empty set, while the predicate that always returns True is equivalent to U - the universal set that contains everything (in naive set theory, anyway - in axiomatic theories it gets a little complicated). I replaced each unicode character with its name. I think the result reads pretty well. There ought to be programs for this, can anyone suggest Haskell libraries that would make one easy to write?
