I assume the font you are using has no equivalents to the ASCII codes that are being transferred. T> Is there anything I can do in TB! to fix this? Ask the sender which fnt he is using (maybe ask him to switch to a fixed-width one before c&p'ing) and use the same under Options / Editor Preferences / Display / Font / Change. Also check out the charset he is sending the message in. You'll find that in the headers of the message you received from him. T> Is there anything I can tell the sender to do in Eudora to fix this? That's not so easy to reply at this stage, we have to read on first: T> Both sender and receiver are in Australia, writing in Australian T> English, but the problem text is often copied from Word files created T> by Japanese or Korean authors. ...and these authors might be using DBCS. Even though the words you see may be English, the "weird" characters you reported are high-ASCII characters. And they being treated differently by DBCS-capable Windows versions. -- Cheers, Thomas.
