Vista - Strange error with sent messages

My recipients report receiving the body of my emails as either (what appears
to be) chinese characters or, in some cases, what appears to be HTML.
I only have UK English installed as a language on my machine.

Any ideas where to look or even what to look for to correct this problem
please?
TIA

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Double check these settings in Windows Mail main "Inbox" screen:
1. Click View - Encoding
2. Have "Unicode (UTF-8)" dotted
3. Click Tools - Options
4. Click Send tab
5. Under "Mail Sending Format", have "HTML" dotted and click on the "HTML Settings" button.
6. Under "Encoding text using:", have "Quoted Printable" selected.
A) Have only "Send pictures..." and "Indent message..." checked.
B) Click OK.
7. Click OK to apply.

It might have something to do with your posting your email address to the
whole wide world to see.
When you post in these newsgroups, use a fake email address .
