Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Punctuation

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi Jude and all —

I don’t understand the ??? marks seen in email posts.  Delighted Michael 
Barrett offered a solution.

I, too, use a thoroughly modern MAC.

Along w/ Sharon Villines … I am a member of The Apostrophe Protection Society.
