    It's a total mess in Pluto as well.

    It's a total mess, full stop.

    It's HTML but not headered as such.

    The HTML special character &#8205; is "zero width joiner".

    StrongED's S&R sorted it out.

    Don't think so ... it appeared the same in Pluto, and when just
    downloaded using AntiSpam! If you edit it to remove all the #&8205; it
    makes much more sense. I suspect some webby stuff interfered with it.

    <unscrambled>

    It’s nearly show time again! If you’ve seen the news in the
    latest Archive (and just about everywhere else too), you’ll know
    that the Wakefield show temporarily has a different venue
    this year, the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford. Archive will be
    there, of course, with the brand new issue, as well as
    complete bundles of the latest volume at a special show price.
    Unfortunately I am unable to attend this one, so Colin Piggot
    (Archive’s Acorn Retro columnist) has stepped up and he will be
    manning the stand. Some of you may have met Colin, who made a
    guest appearance on the Archive stand at the London show last
    year. Please stop by, say hello to Colin, and check out the
    latest issue! I will be back on the stand at the London show
    in October, as well as next year’s Wakefield.

    Here are the Wakefield 2022 show prices:

    • Latest single issue £6.99
    • Full Volume 25 (six issues, inc. latest) £30 (special
    show price!)
    • New UK print subscription £40
    • New digital subscription £35

    We will also be taking preorders for the new Archive Archived
    compilation, a back catalogue of Archive’s extensive collection,
    finally launching this summer:

    • DVD or download £20
    • USB stick £25

    Archive is pleased to support Wakefield 2022, and has donated a
    full year’s subscription to Archive Magazine, or a one year
    extension for existing subscribers, to the show’s prize draw.
    There are other great prizes up for grabs, including the grand
    prize from RISCOSbits, a PiRO Noir 2128 computer. Tickets cost
    £1 each (max of two tickets per person).

    Archive’s stand is at table 2, right beside the Wakefield RISC
    OS Computer Club at the entrance. We will be looking rather
    natty with our brand new banner on display, so you can’t miss
    us.

    Wakefield 2022 takes place at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford,
    on Saturday 21st May 2022, from 10.30am to 4pm. If you can,
    please come along and support all those working hard to grow
    the RISC OS scene.

    Apologies that this got through, I was approving things late on Friday
    night from my phone in bed at the hotel in Bradford. It all looked fine
    on screen (I'd even cut and pasted the text out in case it had special characters), only when I got an echo back from the news server after
    posting did it appear strange!

    Moral of the story - post your announcements in plenty of time!
