Maybe this is because I copied from Yahoo's webmail into vim
to reformat and saved as a utf text file.  I do use Thunderbird.

I do have a keitai but I'm in California and it only works
those infrequent times I get to Japan.  I'm a bit of a
Luddite and don't have  a cell here (California) and seem to
do fine without.  Even there I doubt that the Keitai I own
would support Moca.  Webmail is my main concern.

Please tell your wife どうもありがとうございます. Likewise,
Thank you Stephen.

Also, David, your reply just came in.  I'm feeling much better!

Thanks for the responses!

BTW, in 「あたし、関係ないけど、ふざけてんじゃん？」, あたし
would indicate a woman is speaking, right?
