Hi Brenda, It may have to do with the 'charset' you are composing your messages with. Your message uses this set ( taken from headers ); "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" Linda's uses this one; " Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII" Jo Ann used this one; "Content-type: text/plain" Clint used this one; "Content-type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252" I'm using this one; "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII" I think;) I had problems with my text when I first started using Freelists, and changing the font in my Calypso e-mail 'compose' window cured my problems; As far as I know anyway.
