The diacritic does not always register with your digital<br>
communication. When I encountered these mentions of your name with<br>
the acute accent, I actually did a double take and scrolled back up to<br>
the message headers to verify the memory of what I had seen, for the<br>
lack of diacritic had registered with me…</div>
