Hi Tony, Try adding this line as the first line in the "head" section. Put angle brackets around it. I omit them here as some email clients would interpret them and not display the line.
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" This tells the browser that your characters are in the ISO-Latin-1 character set (whose official name is ISO-8859-1). My safari browser (on an iMac) just assumed this, and IE and Firefox on my Windows XP laptop assumed it as well, but Firefox on the iMac did not. Putting in that meta tag solved the problem.
