Hello Reinhard/Ron,

I am most grateful for your reply and advice. I have found out why I have
problems with Unicode. My default browser is Incredimail, which does not
support Unicode. But since I sent my cry for help I have already switched to
Outlook Express. There everything  can be read. From now on I'll try to
receive all Lowland messages in Outlook Express.
Thanks again and kind regards.

Roger

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with the encoding tool "Unicode UTF-8. I don't see how I
can switch to it on my PC. Does someone have a solution. Thanks in advance.

Roger

Moyen, Roger!

Others may turn out to be more helpful than I can be.  For now let me
mention that much depends on your email program.  Somewhere (usually under
"View" or "Format" and equivalents) there ought to be a menu item "Encoding"
(and equivalents).  If Unicode UTF-8 is not specified there, you ought to be
able to load it as one of the available encoding modes.  (You might find
this under "Tools" and "Options" (and equivalents).

You ought to consult your help program and look for information under
"encoding."

Your program might ask you what font to load when you go into Unicode UTF-8
mode. The best font for it at the moment is Arial Unicode.  It has the
largest number of characters, including extended Roman (yes, including Old
English and Old Saxon symbols), International Phonetic Alphabet, extended
Cyrillic, extended Greek, extended Hebrew, extended Arabic, Armenian,
Georgian, the major Indic scripts, Thai, Lao, Tibetan, Korean, Chinese,
Japanese and numerous scientific characters.  It used to be available free
of charge, but now it is a part of Microsoft software packages. (I was lucky
enough to have gotten it before commercialization.)   The latest version of
(single-spaced) Courier New is one of the so-so substitutes.

Bye for now, and thanks for you participation, Roger!

Reinhard/Ron

You're most welcome, Roger.

Another piece of advice: using Outlook or Outlook Express, make sure you
have aduate and frequently updated virus protection.

Also, if you or anyone else needs to change their subscribed email address,
please write to me, and I will take it from there.  It is really better to
change the subscription than to have mail forwarded automatically from one
account to another.  If there is anything wrong with the account that is not
subscribed I have no way of doing anything about it but still get error
messages, and most of the time I have no idea who the owner of the mystery
account is.  That's a great pain in the neck, as you can probably imagine.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
