Do you get a digest from the mailing list? That might account for the fact that the mailing list has stripped the character set information fro the message (it's probably lying and claiming to be US-ASCII or maybe ISO 8859-1), when in fact the original message must have been written by someone who always has their character set set to big5 (Traditional Chinese), Japanese (EUC) or Korean (EUC), even when they write messages in English. Probably their signature is in one of those Asian languages, so their message was sent that way. . If you go to Format/Character Set and choose any of those three, that excerpt will read correctly. You may be able to tell from some other passage which of the three it was actually sent in. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
