A few weeks ago, my email, both out going and incoming, started having
weird A's with an upside down v over it , popping up. A recent email
only of only 2 lines long had 8 of them! Yesterday, I updated to
Seamonkey 2.49.4 and they are just as bad.
How can I get rid of them??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Most likely Unicode messages being displayed in some other encoding,
such as Western. For example, “curly quotes” will come out as mojibake
(文字化け, Japanese word for "gibberish resulting from incorrect decoding"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake>) if you do this. Some senders
or sending programs send messages in Unicode but fail to mention that
fact, as if they're assuming your program knows, or mislabel them,
effectively lying to your program. And some recipients have their
programs set to use Western no matter what, and anything else gets garbled.
Try View | Text Encoding | Unicode and see if it helps. This message is
a good test.
