Yes, that's what I expected because I saw and replied to your complaint
before I saw your original message, which BTW came through fine. Of
course, as a nonnative speaker, I might have overlooked a spelling error
or two... ;-)

If the message is garbled in your Sent mailbox but comes through fine
from the CUNY server, it's probably a local display setting, and I can't
help with that because I don't use Outlook Distress.
