The second '@' is probably like the old   

       Paris in the
       the spring

trick: the second 'the' is usually ignored.


As for the high-ASCII characters, probably depends on the default 
character coding.  Here I send it out to look like a small, single-
character width '>>' on the left and '<<' on the right.  Youre message 
returned 'T>>' and 'T<<', the 'T' being one character wide and the 
arrors also a character wide.  The 'T'is fine (as in thin) -- probably 
more like the line drawing character.


 KM> So I don't see a problem. Should suffice if needed.
 
So far I'll just leave it as is.  ...Sort of reminds me of a captcha I 
dealt with a few years ago.  Question was "Create a nonsense word using 
the third letter of bedazzle and the letter that's next to itself.",  
OK, so 1-2-3: that's 'd;.  Now what letter is 'beside itself'??  A-b-c 
.... 'w'??.  Try 'dw' - nope.  Try 'du' - nope.  Ends up was wanting 'z'!
