There is probably some "view source" equivalent.

I use a webmail interface to read my mail on the road, and several months
ago they "enhanced" it by translating smiley-sequences into graphics.
Unfortunately, this sometimes makes things hard to read when, for example,
you have a mathematical expression including eight minus open-paren, as in
"something*8-(foo+bar)", or simply negative eight in parens "(-8)", as the
converter has no concept of context.  Sometimes a simple Windows path name
confuses things with B-colon-backslash "B:\"

I assume Nancy will have a hard time reading this message.
