Eudora and many other email programs use something called "quoted-printable" encoding to send these special characters, which requires that the receiving email program support an email standard called MIME. If the email program of your recipient is not "MIME-compliant," then they might see text that looks like this:

See ++++=20 >See ++++ run. Run, ++++, run.=20 See Jane dance.=20 >Dance,.=20 Jane, dance.=20

The solution is to turn off "quoted-printable" encoding for messages that are going to people with older mail programs.

In Eudora, there is a button in the compose mail window marked "QP." Usually it's toggled on. Press it to turn it off. It will stay off until you turn it on again.

Outlook and Outlook Express do not use quoted-printable encoding by default. You can make sure it's not on in Outlook at Tools>Options>Mail Format>Settings. The "Encode text as" item lets you choose none, quoted-printable or base64 encoding. In Outlook Express, the same choices can be found at Tools>Options>Send>Plain Text Settings (under Mail Sending Format).

Ah, good, at least once a problem is defined a solution can be looked for.

I did not find the options mentioned in the article in Outlook 2003 version or Outlook express 6

You want me to send more junk email ??

Seems strange requests these days when people usually do not want any more emails!

I am joking, no probs, i can send some reply

BTW I did not turn on any 'feature' just turned off all "HTML" and "rich text" options in Outlook 2003.

Excellent work..
