Very interesting. Thanks for the expose!

Someday, I’m going to figure out how to add accents to words. They look so flat without them.

Here's one method: type the word you want to display with an accent into Google. Check down the first page (or two) to see if the word shows up on some webpage in it's accented form. For example, when I type "expose" in, I get, right on the first page that comes up, a link to an article on a band called "Exposé." I copy-and-paste that word into the "Your Reply" window on FR, and correct the case of the word's first letter, to get exposé.

I think there are other ways too; one is to compose your reply in MS Word and then select the "convert to HTML" option. This takes a lot more keystrokes though, and nets out to a lot more trouble. By the way, if you do the latter, remember to select "Convert to HTML (Filtered)." If you use the "un-filtered" option, the HTML source code it produces will include some personal information about you, like what name you used to register your copy of Word. exposé
