Jim,
Some us on Outlook Express have just started to have a problem
with mail from Jim Wallace. He is on CC:Mail and we can view it
if we specify another language in the View Menu.
Here is a copy of my recent mail to Tom Ambrose.

Jim and Tom,
Tom seems to have hit on something. Do you have an option in
CC:Mail for a default language or font set. Also make sure you
are sending in +ACI-plain text+ACI- mode to the list. More then a couple
of listers using MS Outlook Express are having the same problem
reading your mail. It's a bug in OE but if you set the language
to Western Alphabet or something like that let's see what
happens.
Thanks

+AD4-On reading Jim's messages, I found a way of reading his messages
with my
+AD4-computer: Double click the message, click view, click any
language.

+AD4-Yes - just today I received messages like that which originated
from:

+AD4-All came with the following note (as you quoted):
+AD4-
+AD4APg- +AD4- This message uses a character set that is not supported by
+AD4APg- +AD4- the Internet Mail Service. To view the original message
+AD4APg- +AD4- content, open the attached message. If the text doesn't
+AD4APg- +AD4- display correctly, save the attachment to disk, and then
open
+AD4APg- +AD4- it using a viewer that can display the original character
set.
+AD4-
+AD4-This began only recently and happens ONLY with notes sent from
the Triumph
+AD4-group - none of the email I get from other newsgroups is
similarly affected.
+AD4-The only way I can read the messages is to save the attachment
to disk and
+AD4-then open it in WordPad or some other text editor. When I do so,
it is not
+AD4-at all apparent what character or +ACI-character set+ACI- is causing the
problem.
