Hello In the emails I recive as answers to my emails, I see a lot of these A~ in different parts of the email back to me. I use Hebrew only in my browser
In emails back to me, my Inbox, I see a lot of these A~ in several locations. I use Hebrew only in my browser, Chrome. I never type in Hebrew.
When I answer these emails, I still have the A~ and I have to delete them all - Not fun..
Any help please?
Thank you very much, Gabe satsong@q.com

Umm, did it display here as you intended? I'm not clear whether you're seeing some stray A characters (usually indicative of a charset inconsistency) or, given your reference to Hebrew, if you're seeing Hebrew characters where you didn't expect them.
Hello Thank you for taking the time! I see anything from one A with a carrot ~ on the top of it to several of these , to many of these, in different parts of the emails back to me. No Hebrew fonts at all. I was just told that this maybe the source of the problem even if I do not type Hebrew at all.
Thanks again, gabe
Ah, that sounds familiar - though I don't have an answer for you.
The A-with-caret often appears when a message is generated using UTF or a Unicode character set, but is subsequently rendered using a Windows or ISO font. This can happen in Thunderbird when messages are saved as drafts, and it seems to be a long-standing and as yet unresolved bug.
Some email clients are not exactly standards-compliant. Outlook inserts non-standard fonts such as Webdings (plus reams of Microsoft Office specific coding) and Windows users tend to assume that everyone in the world has exactly the same as they have. Apple Mail has some of its own peculiarities too. Do you think either of these clients are involved here? (Admittedly, it would be unusual NOT to receive messages processed or generated in Outlook, with it being the default client in the dominant OS.)
Thanks again for answering. I am not sure whether Outlook or others are involved but it happens quite frequent... I did change some unicode fonts based on some info I received. Both to Western (ISO 8859-1). Will see if this may solve it.
If no, any idea/suggestions for another email program that is popular yet easy to use ( not Outlook...)
Thanks again, gabe
Hello everyone out there
Still with the same problem.. I have a little home business so when I get an answer and needs to reply, I need to deleted about 50 of these A~
and they are not all at the same place...
I did try changing the CharacterEncodings settings several times, so far no luck at all. There are quite a few possibilities there.
If anyone has some suggestions. PLEASE...
Thank you all, Gabe
