Re: Weird font display? [u]
Jérôme, It is a multipart message. The little globe gives a choice of show as plain text with header and that works just fine... as does Safari. It's like PM is choking on the multipart thingy. It seems to be happening with all folks using Yahoo mail, I think. (Glad to know that I can click the icon, but would much prefer if PM could simply display the multipart properly.) Any other suggestions? Evie Leder wrote: This is still going on. I get this garbled text that -- if I copy it and paste it into a new message, it de-scrambles and I can actually read it. This is on incoming email only. Suggestions? Is it an HTML message? (In this case, a globe button appears at the bottom of the message with the view in web browser option). If so, is it rendered the same way by Safari? If it is a plain text message, show the full header (from the view menu) and look for the charset specified in the content-type header; if it is something other than a roman charset (us-ascii, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, windows-1252...), you can adjust the font used for the corresponding script in the display preference. If no charset is specified in the content-type header, make sure the assume charset for undefined incoming messages option is correctly set in the character sets preferences (typically, iso-8859-1).

Re: Weird font display? [u]
This is still going on. I get this garbled text that -- if I copy it and paste it into a new message, it de-scrambles and I can actually read it. This is on incoming email only. Suggestions? Evie Hi, I'm kinda new to the list and PM. I've just given up Claris Emailer, and it is a difficult time, indeed. PM seems to be the closest thing, so I upgraded an old licence I had when I tried it out a year or so ago. and here I am. I've played with PM over the last few years always resistant to leave Claris... Using PM, I am noticing that in some messages, I have weird font display. It looks almost arabic. I think it has something to do with the Safari engine or whatever, because I have this happen in Safari, too, since I installed X. I can copy the garbled text and paste it in a new email and the text is then readable. I have a feeling this has something to do with a corrupted font, but I have so many fonts, and I never really have the time to go through each one of them. Has anyone come across this and fond a solution? I'm willing to try most anything now. I am on a dual G5 1.8 with 1.5 gigs of ram. Thanks!
