Use Apple's mail.app. instead of Micro$oft. I correspond with Germany daily and Apple's mail displays umlauts, the long "s" and other diacritical marks fine.I receive a weekly German vocabulary list. When I was using my Performa 6300 with IE5 and Outlook Express, the email hat the proper German letters and special symbols displayed. Ever since I got my 17" flat panel IMac (which I do love!!!) these emails are not able to display the special German symbols. I contacted the list that sends them and they claimed I had to have a certain type font in my browser. That font is in Safari and IE5 but I still get no German symbols.
Is there anyone out there that experienced this problem and could tell me how to resolve it?
It is a self curing problem if you can wait long enough. The German government, last year enacted a ten year phase out of all the special characters, so correspondence, publications, etc. will be easily compatible with electronic publishing. No more umlauts. All the M�llers are turning into Muellers, Stra�e are becoming Strasse. In ten years time everything will be able to display the German vocabulary list. :-)
