The problem may be that in passing through usenet and from one
machine to another, the "garbage" characters got garbled -- in your
version I see things that look like "Â\200" which indicates
problems with multibyte characters. 

You could try deleting them and entering them again: to enter \200,
for instance, do C-q 2 0 0 RET.
