I am using Internet Explorer to query for books on grammar written in  
arabic
in the Hollis catalog at Harvard.

I see the results with horizontal bars above letters for natural madd  
and
dots below for the heavy letters in transliteration.

However, when I send the results to my email address which uses MS  
Outlook
2000 on my computer, the characters with bars appear as question  
marks and
the characters with dots appear as boxes when I select the default  
setting
of UTF-8 in the Hollis email page .  When I select the only other  
option,
which is ISO 8859-1, the letters with dots appear correctly but the  
doubling
of the vowel indicated by the horizontal bar appears as a single  
vowel. Also
the ' to indicate ayn disappears.
