Configuring Mail and News Readers

One of the joys of APL is the way that the expanded character set gives us brevity and clarity of expression. A downside is that when we need to squeeze APL through Mail and News applications which have their roots in 7-bit ASCII what the sender sends isn't always the same as the receiver receives. It doesn't have to be this way and the intention of this page is to set out working configurations for as many mail/news clients as possible.

Goal

What we want to achieve is a three-step exchange of APL code:

APL code in a workspace

is copy/pasted into a mail message or news posting body

Sent by Person A

may be forwarded and/or replied to (more than once)

Received by Person B

is copy/pasted into a workspace

APL code in a workspace
