[Rockhounds] Subscript notations in e-mails

[Pete Richards]

To broaden the discussion, I use the Macintosh Mail program.  I did  
not get the subscripts/superscripts in Pete's test posting or in  
Stephen Douglas' test posting.  It does not seem to offer to let me  
make sub/superscripts, though I can change the font size, so I can  
give you
CaSO4•2H2O.

The help utility suggests that if I can make subscripts in a Unicode- 
using program (e.g. MS Word), then copy and paste them into my email,  
the receiver of the email should be able to open the email and paste  
the text into such a program and see the subscripts, even if they  
don't show up in the email itself.

 From Word (base font size 18pt):  Na2SO4•7H2O by the m3.
Oh, look, it shows up with the sub and superscripts on my screen,  
anyway.
