Alan, I can see what you presumably typed - \[Test\], so Google didn't
delete the square brackets. It might do if you tried [\Test\].

If you wish to try, you would keep jochta happy by using alt.test, but imho
the subject is of interest to quite a few usw posters.

I don't mind that much! I was just pointing to alt.test as some people
don't know about it and he might find it easier to try lots of different
things in there.

No worries, I've been trying in alt.test.ignore to no avail I give
up!!

[Test]
on its own works but

[WR] Outer Mongolia
doesn't, it removes all the [WR]

[Test]
Gives you exactly that, so it's not converting HTML codes


[\Test\]
Gives you exactly that with the back slashes

Yes tried that, well I googled it in google groups [now that's getting
recursive] .. it's appears to be a known bug, but I've not found any
solution. So I quickly tried all the standard special character
delimiters as used in HTML,C++ etc to no avail.

Don't imagine any google group is an official product.

What are you using to peruse the Google output?
It's working OK in Internet dEplorable.

I'd recommend Opera as a base fro such stuf it also handles US and
Canadian weather sites better than most.
Or used to.

Easy solution. Don't use Google Groups. It's a bleeping menace!
