A's and ?'s added where spaces should be in mail program

When a pc user replies to my emails, A's and ?'s marks, sometimes B's show up where the spaces should be. My setting is not set to rich text. Can this be resolved?
Thanks.

You are in the wrong forum if you are running 10.4.
You can't control how someone else's mail program might corrupt your text on the way back to you, but if you find out that the recipient is seeing junk in the messages you send, the easiest fix is usually to make sure you do Format > Make Plain Text before you send. Your message may be going out in Rich Text even if you think it isn't -- the only way to tell is to do View > Message > Raw Source on stuff in your Sent folder.

  • My iPhone 5 does not allow me to send or recieve any texts from anyone not using iMessage - I've already checked my settings and everything is where it should be. Any other possible ideas?

    Contact your carrier to make sure there's nothing wrong with your account.
    Also, it may be worth going into Settings>General>Reset and choosing Reset Network Settings. You'll lose saved wifi passwords but you won't see any other changes. That may resolve the issue.

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Why are blue questions marks coming up where images should be in Mail, and in Safari.

    I have reset safari and my wifi? I have a iMac if that helps. IF you have any idea please help me.

    For Mail. From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Viewing tab.
    Select:  Display remote images in HTML messages
    For Safari. If you see Develop in your Safari menu bar between Bookmarks and Window, click Develop.
    If Disable Images is checked, click there once to uncheck.

  • Install Elements 12, attempt to run and asks for "sign in" gives correct email, I give password, and system crashes. What should I do   Return program,? Lightroom works great,

    System seems unable to get registered.  I am asked to "sign in" i give the correct password,system dies.  I looked at my Adobe acct. and it has my lightroom correctly done, nothing for elements, can I enter this manually as the system doesn't seem to accept any other input.

    Did anyone helped here? I have a similar problem but nobody seems to know how to help. Do not accept calls for Element 12 programs and the chat group cannot help either. What should we do? Why is this so hard if we are purchasing a product. I was charged on August 21st and still cannot run the program. Can some one help???????

  • I upgraded to 10.9.3 and the bars on the side of my mail program to drag up and down have disappeared. I cannot even access some of my folders. Any ideas?

    I upgraded to OSi 10.9.3 as my comptuter told me to do-I am very obedient that way. Now the bars on the side of mail and safari that allow one to move the screen up and down-are not there-except for sometimes.. I have looked everwhere in Preferences but I cannot seem to find a setting that relates to this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Thank you. I was looking in preferences for the program and not the main preferences. How about this: all my email in date received says January 2014. Different dates but only January. My date on time on the air book is set properly. Thanks

  • List view shows black spaces where letters should be

    G5, dual 2.5GHrz, 10.3.9
    Just recently when I'm in list view, spaces appear where letters should be. In Icon and Column view everything appears correctly. I have shut down and restarted and corrected permissions. None of that seems to help. Any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I found a solution. I moved the preference file named "com.apple.desktop.plist" from the /Users/HomeFolder/Library/Preferences to the desktop and restarted.

  • How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

  • When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black.  Why?

    When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black.  Why?  I can edit some photos, whereas others I can not.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • A question about variables and where I should put them!

    Hi, I'm fairly new to java. I'm a first year computer scientist and I'm struggling with where I should put my variables.
    So far on the course I've been able to wing it as we have not been doing object orientated programming, it was more like programming in fortran!
    Anyway if you look at the code below, I need the variables 'speed', 'distance', 'time' and 'tottime', to be calculated in my seperate methods, but then called in my main part to be printed out; however I have no idea where I put them to get this to work!
    The program is by no means complete, it's still a work-in-progress, but I need to get this sorted before I continue.
    Thanks in advance

    public class travel {
        public static void printMenu()

        public static void RoadMenu()
             System.out.println("Type the road type:\nType m: Motorway\nType a: A road\nType b: B road\nType u: Urban road");

             distance = UserInput.readDouble();
        public static void calcTime()
             time = speed/distance; // time in hours
             tottime = tottime + time; //total time in hours         
        public static void main(String[] argv) {
              int speed = 0;
              double distance = 0;
              double time=0, tottime=0;
         } // end of main
    } // end class

    Your calcTime() can't see variables local to other methods you either need to make them global or pass them in as parameters. To make them global:
    public class travel {
         int speed = 0;
         double distance = 0;
         double time=0, tottime=0;
        public static void printMenu()also you're main method should create a instance of the class
        public static void main(String[] argv) {
    new travel();
    }BTW it's convention to make class names begin with a uppercase letter. Also, look at using the equalsIgnoreCase() for your switch statement as it could save you 4 cases.
    Hope this helps

  • Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails.  I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back.  Should not have upgraded?

    I do not remember what version of OS it was.  I have carbonite back up but I am not sure it backed up my e-mail.
