When a certain letter code is received in one's email program, the program 
displays whatever character is in it's font set corresponding to that code. 
If we were all using the same font set and the same translation table, 
everybody would see exactly the same character on their screens.  We don't 
all use the same set. We don't all see the slashed zero for that reason.

I see your slashed zero here. It shows up in every instance of your call 
except the call immediately before the "at" character in your email 
address. Apparently you used multiple character sets, and I don't have the 
slashed one used just before the "at" in my font library.

You sent a styled HTML text. My program changes all this to plain text when 
it replies, so you may not see exactly what I am seeing when you read this 
reply.
