Hi, Mary,
When I tried to read your message, I got several of those darned circumflex
indications throughout the message. Upon more careful examination, the
"bad" characters come in each time you used an apostrophe in a word. I
wonder if there is anything I can do on my end to make the "circumflex"
characters read back properly to me. If anyone knows of any setting I can
change in Outlook Express to force the characters to read properly, I will
appreciate the information. Your message is the first one I have received
in which the apostrophe characters did not read properly. I do not know
whether it is a characteristic of Windows 7 or something in either your end
or mine; but I would sure like to know of a way to get the text to read
properly.
I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I will appreciate any advice
any of you can offer.
