Re: [hylafax-users] $ sign

["Barney Treadway" <fax@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, still no luck. I'm sending the same string in an email confirmation as
well.

The $ won't show at all in either.

The \$ shows nice on email but I still get characters truncated on fax

The '$' comes through on both with the single quotes. '$'5.00

most puzzling.
