Unreadable email text

DawnChaser · 06-10-2001, 05:40 PM

Hopefully someone has had more experience with this than I have. I received an email from someone that I cannot read. It appears that my system is not configured to display the codes that the sender is using, so I get a bunch of ascii symbols instead of readable text.

Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to view this email? I posted this here because I believe the email is from someone on this board, and, because this is where I can address friends from all over.

"YAWN! Oh my! is it 2:30 PM already?!? I only have another 30 minutes to sleep!"

Could be in html, could also be in a wordprocessing system your computer/email prog isn't recognizing. Try saving to hd and opening with other programs when that happens.

No, it isn't in HTML... I think maybe a codepage setting that I am not using.

Charean, I received two from you, both totally readable. This one I can't really tell.

I use MS Outlook, so it is a common email program.
