If that sig was in us-ascii it must be some form of unicode(?) coding 
since standard ascii would have been readable. I know my machine handles 
UTF-8 coding since I need that in support of the programming I do in 
relation to GIMP.

Then again, perhaps my computer was just hiding that block of text from 
me since it knows I am not in the US. It may have felt it was saving me 
from what it thought could be US propaganda. ;-)
