Why This

Hi,

Its probably a font you dont have installed on your machine. I dont have it either, but there may be people out there who DO have that font installed - so I hope there wasn't anything too personal in that message !!

Cheers,
Tim.

Howdy,

Looks to me like you have someone sending you a message in a forein language.

What it is, I dunno.

I think it's arabic or cryllic, but I don't support that font either.

The most likely reason for this is due to encoding standards. There are a number in use, the most common being uuencode, mime, binhex & base64. It's possible the sender of this email (or their ISP) uses a slightly odd format which your ISP or your mail reader doesn't recognise. Another possibility is that the mail was an attachment which got truncated & can't be unencoded. A good source of info on encoding can be found at
