Hi..

It would also help if the ooos with umlaut I wrote would appear in the
mail I wrote..  when it came back...  all the ö  Ö  were gone...   just
empty spaces in the words..
Makes my try at writing Low Saxon a bit like guess work.. I hope it's
just my computer...  I'm sure glad  I can write me eeees again, not to
mention the esses.   Now I got to go work on the u and o with umlauts..

Bye bye!

Wim...

Yesterday I shifted from UNICODE to Western Europe (ISO)- and it does
work
with the most postings! Weird again!

Fiete.

Folks,

Part of the problem may well be related to us shifting to a different
site and email account.  Things have been rather transitional and
makeshift lately.  I have been using an email program that is a little
temperamental.  If I choose Unicode encoding and then copy and paste
something from a submission someone has sent in Western or another mode,
the message I send sometimes defaults to that other encoding mode.  This
is probably not the only source of your troubles, Wim, but it could be
contributing to it.  I can just ask everyone to bear with us until we
have well and truly moved into our new home.  So, if you find the
encoding of a message strage, try a different encoding mode or character
set (usually under "View").

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
