Recieving some strange charaters in my mail

Hello,

  Firstly we need some information from you. Do you use IERenderer or Bearhtml to display html messages? Keying in Shift + F1 key should show which product and version you are using.  Secondly please provide me with a sample message that demonstrates the problem. Please forward it as an attachement to irelam@telus.net  I will forward it on to Michael (IEREnderer author) if my Bearhtml is not involved.

I recently had a message from a mailing list where a surname came through like


this:


Boullé's

 

I asked about it on the list, and this is the reply I received:

In the reply, the name in the haeader, and in the body of the message, was


quite readable.

I have had a number of other messages with strange cvharacters in them --


capital A with two dots over it, Euro signs, trademark signs and the like.

People blame my reader, Pegasus, for them, but I find that when the guy who


replied top me above quoted the original, it came through fine.

What is causing this, and is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks

Robert
