Oops! The first time I sent this I overlooked the fact that the word e-n-c-o-d-i-n-g is one of the verboten ones that gets filtered out. It came to me that perhaps the problem was contained in the character e-n-c-o-d-i-n-g being used by the various email clients. Here is a possible answer I have been able to run down so far. This is from Microsoft in response to what seems to be a common problem with Live Mail. WLMail 2011 automatically âsmartensâ apostrophes and quotation marks, substituting typographersâ marks for the ones you may be used to.Check your* International Settings* at Options > Send (press Ctrl-Shift-*O* to open the*O*ptions sheet). If the default is set to Unicode, WLMail will transmit Unicode characters for apostrophes and quotation marks (and a few other characters) which will display wrongly when read by the recipient using a non-Unicode e-n-c-o-d-i-n-g . If you normally write in English or another Western language, set the default *Send* e-n-c-o-d-i-n-g to, say, Western European (Windows). If you use a serif font for composing that clearly shows the difference between the two types of character, you should be able to spot the substitution when it happens. When it does, Backspace, Ctrl-Z or a click on the *Undo *button will reverse the change. To read received messages showing weird characters, click the * E-n-c-o-d-i-n-g* * *button on the *Home *tab and select, say, Unicode (UTF-8). This last should also work for those receiving strange characters if your email client will allow you to change the character e-n-c-o-d-i-n-g to UTF-8. -- Steve It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.-- Aristotle 384-322 BC Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH-L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
