(The above is what your replies look like to a MIME-enabled mailer)


No, It's not. What you need to do (assuming you are using MS-Exchange) is
to select the Tools Menu, select Services. This brings up a dialog box.
Select Internet mail, press the Properties button. This brings up another
dialog box. Press the Message properties button. Yet another dialog box
pops up. Uncheck the box that says Use MIME encoding. Also, press the Me
ssage encoding button, and check that the message encoding is US ASCII.

I apologize if this seems as if I am talking down to you, but I have no
idea how much computer experience you have. I had this problem a couple of
times on this list, until I realized what happened.

Note, this is for the english-language menus. If you need help, private
e-mail me.

Oh, and in Tools/Options, on the Read tab, set the reply font to Courier
New, 10-point.

*** Now, I hope everything works now....If so, thanks for your help......
The only thing I don't understand is why to write in Courier New...
I've always been writing in Arial...
Ok, but the important question is: DOES ANYONE SEES ANY
IRRITATING ATTACHMENT ????
( Besides you finding me irritating...:)

Cu,

This post was fine.
And for the Ariel thing this is a proportional font IIRC and
Courier is a fixed widht one. Proportional fonts looks bad in a mail,
messess with any formating, sigs and such if you use them.
