Hi Ron

For a while I was getting all the special characters
as they should be, but now they're coming through as
combinations of strange symbols. I need to convert to
unicode, but I am a complete computer dunce so I don't
know how to do this. My internet provider is AOL, but
my main email address is yahoo. Can someone take me
through this step by step. I've tried before, but
didn't really kow where to start looking. Sorry for
being a bit thick :(

Gary

Oy, Gary, me mate!

> Sorry for being a bit thick :(

Agh, we love ya anyway.  :)

Besides, join the club!  Who knows everything about everything?

Let others more knowledgeable than I help you in detail.  So much, though:
if you use Yahoo! and do so on the Web, open a LL-L message, and in your
browser go to "View" and change the encoding or language to "Unicode"
temporarily.  Your browser might need you to specify fonts for this
encoding.  This is where it gets more involved and others need to help.  If
you don't have a suitable font, you and I can "talk" ...

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
