Emails with Phantom Characters (again) when viewed by Windows Users

Seems about every six months the problems of random characters showing up my emails from my Apple to Windows users. Usually this as been "B's" but lately "A's" with carrot signs over them.
I have noticed that this comes from all my Apple computers so it not just one of my computers.
I have put this "fix" in:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070808165831835
But it does not seem to fix the problems. BTW--the random characters seem to pop up where space bar.
Any clue what to do next--the window users are getting ****** at my emails.

You do know RTF with Tiger Mail is not sent as HTML with a newly composed message unless certain things occur.
Selecting a different font, font size or color from the font panel when composing the message - (using the default message font only via Mail preferences without making any other changes sends the message as Plain Text).
Copy/Paste HTML formatted text from another source - website or another message that as composed in HTML.
Using a Signature that was composed in HTML or uses a different font from the default message font or includes an image.
Changing text format - bold, italics or underline for selected text.
This link may be helpful but other than this and until MS decides to fix the related bugs - which they likely aren't very motivated to do in regards to Apple's Mail application.

  • When i send an email with greek characters in the body, the recipient receive it in an unreadable form.

    When i send an email with greek characters in the body, many recipients (not all) cannot read it.
    At the same time when i use the internet mail it can be read successfully by the recipient.
    I have already checked the encoding settings in the Fonts in order to be "unicode (UTF-8)".
    What else can i check?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are some language add ons that support emails from other languages that you can check out: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/extensions/language-support/?sort=popular]
    The recipient, if they also use thunderbird may need to have a language pack to read the email: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/language-tools/]
    You may also need to have them check their interpreter to make sure the email is being received in the same format it is being sent.

  • Reply email with chinese characters become

    My colleagues sent an email with Chinese characters while I'm outside the office, so I replied it using my iPhone 4S with Chinese characters too.
    However, my colleagues (she is using Outlook) said the email that she received is not readable. All the Chinese characters become garbled.
    This issue also applied to iPad 2 because I again resent it using my iPad 2.
    Is there a way to overcome this issue? Otherwise, I cannot do my work when I'm away my desk.
    Pls help~

    If I create a new mail using my iPhone 4GS or iPad 2, I won't have the problem.
    This issue only applied when I reply or forward an email from my colleagues whoes emails contain Chinese characters. To avoid this issue, the only language I can use is typing English but some of my colleagues only understand Chinese.
    I believe this problem is an encolding issue too because this case also apply on the Mail in my MacBook Pro. But I can change my encoding to "Traditional Chinese - Big 5" on Mail in my MBP but iPhone & iPad don't have this function.
    The problem still there even I switched the OS language b/w English and Chinese.

  • Send email with Asian characters

    Hi
    Does anyone know how to send email with Asian characters? Sample code will be useful. I got ?? instead of the real characters, please help....
    Thanks in advance
    Ken

    Hello.
    How are you doing?
    Good Day.
    I think I have the concepts down some, I'm just gonna
    ask some questions for confirmation. First I'll list a
    statement then I'll as the question about the
    statement.
    If the statement is correct answer yes, on the other
    hand if the statement is false. Answer no to the
    question and explain.
    My purpose for asking you questions. Is to get a better understanding of JavaMail and to clear up any doubt. That, I may have on this subject that is related to the statements and questions.
    By having some one like you respond to my questions with answers.
    Here we go!
    The content of the Part Interface and Message class are not attributes at all.
    If this statement is correct or not correct please explian why.
    Is this statement correct?
    A DataHandler is the class called DataHandler and the
    object of the DataHandler class, which programmers
    would call the DataHandler object; which is (normally
    created by using the DataHandler class constructor). The DataHandler class, wraps the data into the DataHandler object which is called DataHandler; by you or I using the DataHandler class constructor.
    This statement is correct right?
    The DataHandler class takes the data you pass to it's
    constructor and wraps it into the DataHandler's object
    as one entity called an email message.
    Is this statement correct?
    Thanks in advance.
    Please email me as soon as possible;
    at [email protected]
    Peace out, have a good day.

  • What do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?

    QuestionWhat do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?
    AnswerWhen upgrading your operating system from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to Windows 10, you can choose to:
    Keep your programs and data through the Windows 10 upgrade (Recommended)
    If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10 whilst keeping your programs and data, the Freedome application does not get removed and continues to work normally after the upgrade.
    Make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation
    If you choose to make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation, you will need to reinstall Freedome after the Windows 10 upgrade. Do note that this method of upgrade requires you to type in a new subscription code as every installation of Freedome uses one of your available subscriptions.
    Note: If you have had an expired trial subscription of Freedome on your computer before the Windows upgrade, it will remain expired after Windows has been upgraded. This applies to both the Windows upgrade methods mentioned above.

    Thanks but the tool only works if you have one working windows installation and it's designed for mult-boot systems.  I don't have a multi-boot system and when the Windows 10 upgrade fails there is no active working Windows install to turn to. The partition gets corrupted and has a "RAW" status until you run chkdsk with gets it back to "NTFS" status but it won't boot.  My only two options at this point is to restore back to an image backup or install Windows 7 all over again. I'm just going to give up on this HP laptop, to me it's just not compatible with running this upgrade, so unless someone else has any other ideas this attempt to upgrade is over. Thanks again

  • Trouble with the image quality when viewing under 100%. First time posting on the forum.

    Hello everyone. I am sorry we have the get acquainted this way but I am having some issues and this is one of my last options of getting help.   Allow me to explain the problem.    When viewing a file under 100% zoom, everything looks jagged like the anti aliasing is missing.  Once I zoom in to 100%, everything looks the way it should. The saved file ( jpeg format for instance) is okay. I can zoom out and it still looks true to the image. The problem is related to photoshop. I installed my latest GPU drivers twice just to be sure and it was not from that.   This problem started last night and I don`t quite know how to solve it.  If I work on small resolution images, it isn`t such a bad problem because I will be working on 100% zoom, but I am working on high resolution images/ paintings. Somewhere around 8000x5000 pixels thus, working at 100% is not that doable. I attached an image that shows this issue. The one on the right is the zoomed out version and the one on the left is the zoomed in version.  Yes, the noise is affected by this, badly, but this started last night. up until then everything looked good even with noise or an out of this world sharpness. I can`t imagine what I could have done to trigger this.
       This being said, I am at the mercy of the more knowledgeable folks from around here. I do hope I posted this question in the right section. This is my first post here so sorry if I messed something up.   Looking forward to your replies.

    Here is a simplistic view that I feel may help you understand reality.
    The only time you're looking at your image pixels in Photoshop is when you're zoomed in to 100%,   There your look at the actual image pixels Photoshop has for your image at your displays resolution.
    At any other zoom level you are looking a scaled image that  has more or less pixels than your actual image these too are displayed at your display resolution.
    The scaling done by Photoshop is done for displaying your image is done for good performance not for the best image quality a quick interpolation.   Therefore at some zoom levels image quality looks poorer  than at other zoom levels.
    High resolution Display have now add a new wrinkle.   User interfaces were designed for displays  with resolutions around 100 PPI elements like text, icon, and other things like checkboxes, buttons etc. were created so there size would be useable are this more or less fixed 100 PPI resolution.   While Photoshop was designed to scale your images so you can work well on it is was not designed with a scalable UI.  Photoshop can not scale its user interface independently from its image display display window for you displays high resolution.  Photoshop's Image display area has the same resolution as the rest of Photoshop User Interface.  Just like there is only one resolution in all layers in a document. CC 2014 2xUI changes that.  PS UI is scaled to 1/2 resolution the image Area is at the displays actual resolution.
    Photoshop CC 2014 2x UI scales all of Photoshop User Interface including the image display to 200% which is 1/2 your display resolution effectively cutting you display pixel count to 1/4 its actual pixel count.   Your once again running on a low resolution display.     If your display has a native resolution  200 PPI you're running it at 100 ppi if your display has a 300 PPI resolution  you're running it at 150ppi.    Which defeats the reason of having high resolution.  Which is you would like to be able to edit your images at print resolution.  Adobe cc2x UI scales the UI but not the image window soa inage is 216ppi on the Surface Pro 3 the UI is large and dpoes not fit. screen
    To be able to edit your images at print resolution  you need a display the has a print resolution and you need and application the can scale its image display  and its UI independently.
    Current there is no OS interface for having multiple resolutions areas on  a display  and applications like Photoshop can not scale UI and Image independently.  OS and Photoshop can scale what is displayed.  Adobe Photoshop executable is coded in a way that it tell Microsoft Windows OS that it will handle display scaling so it can using your displays native resolution.  Currently Only  Photoshop CC 2014  Provides you with the option of running you display at half resolution.
    Windows can scale you display to many resolution and as several presets.  like 100%, 125%, 150% and like Adobe 200% half resolution.    You can make a Windows Registry and add an External Photoshop  Manifest file the tell's Microsoft Windows to handle display scaling.  I have a  Microsoft Surface Pro 3 m windows machine. Its LCD has a 216PPI resolution.  Windows 8.1 had 4 preset for scaling its LCD.
    Surface Pro 3 LCD Display 12"  IPS display 3:2 aspect ratio 9.984603532054124" Wide, 6.656402354702749" High 216.3330765278394  PPI
    Microsoft Preset Display scaling
    100% 2160x1440   216 PPI
    125% 1728x1152   173 PPI
    150% 1440x960    144 PPI SP3 Default setting
    200% 1080x720    108 PPI
    Most user these days has 1024x768 or better displays and Web pages are often authored for 800x600 pixels pages. So the give you a better handle on Resolution and scaling I have edit a 800x600 document with 25x25 px grid one my Surface pro 3
    using Windows 4  scaling presets and captured the 2160x1140 scaled screens  Only at the 100% preset does the image window have a 216ppi Also note  @ 2x UI Photoshop UI doe not fit on screen
    Adobe Photoshop  CC 2014 2xUI Scales the UI  to a display 1/2 resolution but does not scale the Image area  uses actual screen resolution. Photoshop  Help system info show the screen i 1/2 resilution 1080x720 but scalet the imase to the real resolution 2160x1440. however the image window is the 216ppi the ui 108ppi via scaling

  • Pb with timeline-integrated MP3 when viewing from a browser

    Hi,
    I have an anim called interface.swf which is loading an intro
    called intro.swf.
    That intro is infact a compositing anim whose timeline
    wontains some MP3 sounds overlapping one another and beginning at
    different times.
    All is working fine when I run my interface.swf file in a
    standalone flash player or directly from flash, BUT when launching
    it in a web browser (Firefox or IE), one and only one MP3 sound
    (each time the same sound), is beginning at the beginning of my
    intro anim instead of the frame it is assigned to in my timeline.
    It looks as if that very MP3 sound doesn't care about the frame at
    which it begins.
    It is really strange and it occurs only when viewing it in a
    browser (on a server or in local).
    Has such a problem already been noticed? It is very strange
    Is there any explananation?
    Thanks

    hi Ned,
    I currently downloading the tutorial link you posted.
    Do you have any idea what is really happening? Because I really wanted to have a loading text only before the whole site is loaded. The SIMULATED DOWNLOAD in Flash CS4 is working great but whenever copy it in my hosting server and view it in my browser the preloader is not working.
    Thank you for your immediate response.

However, when we decide to add this Word document in the database in a table that has a image column bound to a full-text indexing schema, that document is never indexed. After fiddling around for a few hours, we realized that the Word document produced during the export is not a true Word document but rather a RTF document that was given a ".doc" extension. Is there a way to have a real Word document when exporting in Windows. The problem does not arise in Web because when we export, the report is displayed in Internet Explorer through the Office plugin. The Office plugin knows how to same a real Word document.
    There is also a problem when exporting to Excel in Windows. It does not yield the same structure as in Web. The format of the export in Windows is not compatible with the Office IFilter of SQL Server 2000/2005, therefore the content is not available for search queries.
