Susie is correct in saying that the reason some messages appear funny is because the sender is not using plain text. Different systems interpret the html or rich text in different ways, so the problem is partly the way the message was sent and partly the way the receiving computer translates it. Two computers using *exactly* the same formats won't have a problem.
I haven't had an arachne message showing html coding, but I do occasionally get messages with odd characters for some of the punctuation marks. That's because my system (Mac OS 10.6.8) is interpreting the upper ASCII set of characters differently from the sending computer. The lower ASCII set (0-127) are standard, all computers use the same, but the upper set (128-255) vary.
