OK, I saw an email with the key sequence CTL+ALT+SHIFT+1 in the subject so I tried it. I happen to have the mouse focus in the Netscape Mail reading the email. To my suprise the text changed to what looked like non-english text. Entering the sequence again the text switched back to normal. Can anyone explain this?

Wow, I remember looking for that in the menus and not finding it. Now I don't even use Netscape anymore. What you've found is almost definitely rot13. Try the following to make sure: - - type 'rot13' in a terminal - - paste some text from your message and hit enter The text should be converted in the same way. Basically, all the letters of the alphabet are rotated by 13. a -> n, b ->o, etc Cool. - -- Wnzrf Bnxyrl Ratvarrevat - FbyhgvbaVap Ygq. wbnxyrl@fbyhgvbavap.pbz uggc://jjj.fbyhgvbavap.pbz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9LXkb+FOexA3koIgRAg9AAKCJm/PFD2ui+8BG/3YdWNvl+nn6OQCgprMR Aazl10QDptuOS8VYpWy6dDE= =gqc6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
