Thanks, Bill, I am learning a lot. Yes, every time I get an e-mail from someone not changing his HTML setting into plain text, all the Umlauts, ? etc. turn into 4-8 characters. I have developed a skill to read these things, -but what I am referring to, for example is this: The New York Times, in the daily e-mail to me, refers me to a sight to read more about and gives the URL address. When I then copy and paste it, during this transfer, there is often going to be added ( as a gratuity) % with a string of letters(numbers) often in the middle of the address. It is not in the address given in the e-mail. Of course with this added baggage, the site can't be found. I learned the hard way when that happens , to check the address and delete this added combination. Where behind the szenes does that take place? It is one of those annoyances I would rather do without. Marta
P.S. You see, I need a lecture on the HTML ? ( sometimes HTM ?) mystery- as well as a personalized lecture on "Mail", since I was unable to be present when Harry gave his much anticipated presentation. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28.
