Indeed, my squeak is pretty dusty, that's probably the cause for the the
difference of perception. 246 is the code for the letter Goran's mailer
is sending. The code I sent using it indeed does reproduce the cutoff
"G" Bob mentions, *on my old image*.

Well, I'll update sometime soon, and the issue is moot. The other
problem (#1) I'm not that concerned about personally.
