can't read the unknown language of an email(html?)
Hello-
This could probably be better addressed in the Outlook ng (or one that deals with the email client software you use), but one possibility is that your friend is using a font that he/she thinks is 'cool' but noody else in th world has installed on their system... including you. Have your friend use a more common font or send the email as text and see ifthat helps. Also, if your friend is using a Macintosh computer, ask him/her to be sure & use their email client's 'Windows friendly' settings.

If the text displays as HTML code, with tags such as p and /p, and
your email application cannot handle this, a workaround is to save the email as plain text, with an *.htm extension, and then read it in your browser. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "erioz" wrote in message ... hi, i keep receiving emails from a friend that i cannot read. they come in a strange computer language, i guess it's html? i tried to copy it into notepad, change it into text, and then into html...it just doesn't work. does anybosy know how to solve this mystery??thanks -erika |
