Apologies for that. Do others have the same problem? I'll re-post when I get it figured out

Thank you, John; at least that answers one question. My computer recently acted up and had to go in for an adjustment; I suspect some settings were inadvertently (?) changed... (There is so much cat fur floating around my house that one wag suggested the computer had a hair-ball). Of the 3 possible setting in MS Outlook (UTF8, UTF7, Western), UTF 7 is the only one that produces weirdness-free material on MY screen. I'll call the good people at my ISP's help line and see about straightening this out. (This is in Western. I think.)
