Looks good to me, using AOL e-mail. One thing that might be worth mentioning, though: I use ALT 167 in the Help file of my Visual Basic 6 CelNav program, the Help file simply being a text file. When I entered ALT 167 while writing the program, I got a good degree symbol, but when the program is run the degree symbol is squared off with an underscore immediately beneath it. It is pretty clear what is intended, so I never bothered trying to find anything better.

NUMLOCK plus
ALT 0176 produces °
The first three appear to produce the degree symbol in the Navlist message input window. See if they come though your email reader un-corrupted.

This is a test of the ALT codes entered directly into the Navlist interface, my prior messages were done through email utilizing Thunderbird.
NUMLOCK plus
ALT 167 produces º
ALT 248 produces °
ALT 0176 produces °
AL7 248 using the top row number keys produces ◘ which is a square and not the degree symbol.
