(A longer explanation was sent by email to Duncan)

That was my intention: to misspell as 'càfe' the french word 'café', and
then search for it in google groups.  This is because the original greek
word --used as an example by Alan, Martin etc-- was misspelled as
'gi/gnwskw' instead of 'gignw/skw' (accent 'oxia' in the wrong letter,
resulting in an inexistant word), so it's normal that a google groups
search shows up Martin's UTF-8 post as the only one containing the word.

I did begin my post as "If I may say it sideways..." :)
