Well, I receive some e-mails from Brazilain and
American friends without a problem. For instance:

You see, from one person...no troubles. From the other...
How can I understand this?
I use Eudora.
Marcio, I can help your understanding with this
PDF about character sets in Eudora for the Mac:
<ftp://ftp.eudora.com//eudora/eudorapro/mac/english/manuals/mac42charactersets.pdf>
It explains it very clearly, but, unfortunately,
it doesn't explain how to solve the problem for a
Windows Eudora user.
In brief, the problem is the sender's e-mail
client is mis-identifying the character set it is
using to encode the e-mail. When your e-mail
client (Eudora) decodes the message, it selects
the wrong glyph to represent the characters in
the message.
