Characters displayed differently in inbox subject and in note
When I receive email that's encoded with UTF-8 that contains non-ascii
characters (in cyrillic, for example) the subject line appears correct if viewing the email. However, in the inbox, the characters appear as ? marks. How do I get the subject characters in the inbox to appear the same as the subject characters in the email? |

wrote in message
ps.com... When I receive email that's encoded with UTF-8 that contains non-ascii characters (in cyrillic, for example) the subject line appears correct if viewing the email. However, in the inbox, the characters appear as ? marks. How do I get the subject characters in the inbox to appear the same as the subject characters in the email? While viewing the message in its own window click View | Encoding and select UTF-8. If the sender sends in Uuencode there is nothing to tell OE what character set to use. If it's sent in MIME/None the encoding information is sent in the headers. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was already using UTF-8 encoding in OE when I made my previous post. The subject looks ok in the email, but not in the inbox. When looking at these same emails in other email clients the subject appears correct in the inbox and in the email. |

I think you're saying that you see the question marks in the Message List but not in the message itself. If that is the case, this is a bug that is fixed in Vista's Windows Mail but not OE. I don't know when, if ever, it will be fixed in OE. There was an update for OE in the last Windows Update for WinXP SP2, but I don't know if there will be any more. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup.
