Yen sign? That should be a backslash, as in CP\d+ ?
Right. The smart-ass Mail.app (among other *.app) does this to me when
your input method is Japanese and '\' is typed. I have configured
Kotoeri (the input method) to be English-friendly --does Kana-Kanji
conversion when and only when caps lock is set (much more convenient
than toggling Keyboard script with command-space) but even that won't
stop replacing slashes with yen mark. You have to get Kotoeri out of
picture, something you would so easily forget in apps like Mail.
[I seem to remember something about some Japanese character sets
swapping
\ and ¥ so that the Yen sign had a 7 bit value.
As you see now '\' appears correctly because I now toggled off Kotoeri
now. I usually notice this on Terminal.app because the difference is
critical but not Mail.app
Well, at least with MacOS X you can TELL THE DIFFERENCE even though it
is sometimes annoying; Win* won't even let you notice that and you are
trapped in "Yen jail" :)
