Oh is that what it is?  I just see a question mark.

VMS 7.1 Alpha on a DEC 3000-400 workstation, telnet to linux, where I 
run alpine 2.00 to read newsgroups.  I have absolutely *no* idea who 
is changing the degree sign to a question mark.  I don't see anything 
in the headers to indicate character set or encoding (but I am not so 
familiar with news headers).

Where can I look to find the message before it got munged by all the 
stuff I need to read it?

FWIW
