Vista - First letter of words displayed as "=" in Sent Items

There are "=" characters that replaces the first letter of some words on my
sent e-mails.

I'm using Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail 14.0.8064.0206.
Not having problems in OE, but in some mails in Windows Live Mail the first
characters of some words are displayed as "=" .

The issue exists only for composed and sent items (from my Hotmail accounts
configured in Outlook Express) by me before using Windows Live Mail.

- The affected messages are only the ones that were imported from Outlook
Express into Windows Live Mail.

How to fix the first letter of words displayed as "=" viewing e-mails in
Windows Live Mail?

Thanks in advance.

If you purchase new ram, a new or used =omputer or experience crashes and

memory is correctly inserted into the memory =anks. Make sure you count the
number of bars and check if you are running dual =hannel mode or not.
Download the free software Memtest86+ as an =so image (currently Memtest 3.3
iso) and burn it to a compact disk. Reboot your =omputer afterwards and boot
the CD that you just created. You might need to =hange the boot order in your

ENCODINGS AND LANGUAGES

- Windows Live Mail & Outlook Express
Default encoding: Turkish (Windows) (Includes all English
characters)
International encoding: Not using the Default Encoding for
incoming messages

- HTML Settings in Windows Live Mail & Outlook Express
"Encode text using" under MIME message format (Tools>Options>Send) is set
to Quoted Printable using Base 64

- IE8
Encoding: Authomatically choose (Box is filled) and Turkish
is chosen

- Internet Options
Languages: Turkish
English (USA)
Fonts: Latin

- Control Pannel

Region and Language Options: Turkish


I tried several encodings including "English-UTF-ISO-User defined" but none
helped.
The problem appears both in turkish and english written messages.

Take a look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) for the problem messages.
Is there more than just an = at the beginning of those words?

Also while looking at the message source are these plain text or HTML
messages?

If plain text are they MIME or Uuencode?

If you really want to fix them
- Do a File, Save As to save the message to an *.EML file, or
drag-and-drop the message to Windows folder
- Then edit the file in Notepad or other text editor. Edit the source
to fix he problem.
- Save the file.
- You can drag-and-drop the message back to an WLM folder.
- You can then delete the original message.

What exactly needs to be edited to fix the problem depends on the exact
problem.

If you would like, you may send me one of the problem messages that you
received and I'll take a look at it. It's best if you zip the message
so that I get an exact copy of it. To do that, do a File, Save As to an
EML file of a problem message. Then Right click the saved EML file and
select Send To, Compressed (zipped) folder. Then e-mail me the
resulting ZIP file. Alternately, you can do a Message, Forward As
Attachment of a problem message. This is not as good as the zip file
since the headers can be modified in transit which may obscure the
problem. A simple Forward is worthless since it does not include the
headers.

I got the files that you sent.

The EML file that you say is from OE displays correctly in WLM. The one
that you say is from WLM has the same problem in either WLM or or OE.

How did you import the problem messages originally from OE? Something
went wrong.

The problem is the end of line characters in the files.

DOS/Windows text files use a carriage return (hex 0D) followed by a Line
Feed (hex 0A). Internet standards also require this for mail and news
posts, regardless of the operating system.

Unix/Linux text files use just the Line feed. Mac text files use just
the carriage return.

The OE EML file is valid and has the carriage return/line feed
combination.

The WLM EML file is a Unix file and has only the line feed.

Also curious, the "message source_WLM.txt" file that you included has
only carriage returns.

Are you using a Unix based system?
