Thanks Bill for more on these mystery characters. My e-mail often is full of them, especially these "This week in Germany", mails, where the Umlaute take on lengthy strings, % .......; and letters in between. Yet in many other e-mailings the Umlaute show up fine. If things can get fixed in one transmission, why not in another? Is it the sender or the mailprogram that is to blame? Would outlook express, entourage or aol all have different ways of compressing and encoding files? I guess I should just say : Go figure and let it go at that, but that is difficult for me to do.
