This is common in countries where accented characters are used and some people use Windows as an operating system (like most of Europe except the UK) Windows-1252 is the Microsoft encoding which Microsoft created a long time ago to substitute the charset iso-8859-1 which Emailer uses for encoding accented characters, (like é) You will commonly find that when the subject line, or the name of the person writing to you, contains accented characters (and when win-1252 is selected for encoding) You will also fid that when you receive, also from windows users, attachments in which the filename contains accented characters. In such situations, the filename itself appears corrupt and the extension (like .pdf) is no longer there for your OS to identify the application needed to open it The cure? use only ascii in filenames and subject lines HTH -- Jean-Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
