I use Tbird for mail, is there some way to post msgs with math symbols?

Me too.

Use ASCII Art:

Yes, but it is generally preferred to use ASCII in Usenet.

If you really want to use math symbols, you can copy-paste them into the
editor (which will probably tell you that it's going to use UTF-8
instead when sending) or you can set up your keyboard to generate those
symbols.

Yep, I suspected as much. ASCII will do. Too bad though. I have some
equations to question written in math symbols. It would save some work
to just copy them into a message.

Use TeX sans the \ and $.
