PS: There are people who think that 'backspaceA
where backspace is the backspace char gives you
a much better idea of an A with accent than =XY

True enough.  There are also:

-- People whose mail readers DIE when they get this (really!)
-- People whose terminals simply turn this into A, and don't like this
fact (i.e. they'd rather know it was a special character!)
-- People whose programs display this as 
        '^HA
which really isn't better than =XY.  (The tool I'm using at the moment
is in this category.)

Without a standard, you can't possibly make everyone happy.  -- Nathaniel
