Hi, thanks again for replying,
> Are your outgoing messages that exhibit this behaviour replies > rather than new messages? If so, is the problem text your own or > quoted from the message you reply to? The problem isnt really from when i reply to an email. it occurs either when i save a msg as draft, or save it in my outbox. Upon opening it again to edit it or send it out, the questions marks are there. so i cant use the save email option anymore, i have to save the text in ms word and paste it out again in anew email. it also happens when ive already sent out an email and want to send the same email to someone else. in outlook express there used to be a "resend" option. but in the bat! i go to "sent mail", open the email, and redirect it. that creates the question marks too. now ive started to copy the text of the sent email into a new email and that seems to work, but i still cant use "redirect" or "forward" without question marks appearing. > Odd. If you re-send exactly the same message with no modification > (copy from "sent" to "outbox", perhaps) does that go astray too? exactly the same one, no changes, and it wont make it through. i know its not getting through because it doesnt show up on the archives of the list on the web, and it also doesnt go out to individual recipients on the list. ive done virus checks on the computer too and nothings turned up. please help! i want to be able to save msgs in my outbox and have the question marks disappear. -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
