" Your posts all have a question mark in key places. probably carriage

" with a question mark. 

i've also seen this when the poster uses an 8-bit charset, iso8859-1
for example.  'plain text' [ascii] is a 7-bit charset and afaik all
8-bit sets with the roman alphabet build on it, but if/when you start
using characters from the 'upper half' - accented vowels, fancy
quotes, a few special symbols, etc - you're no longer in 'plain text'
territory.
