I think there is a problem that has started with
using Bullguard security (Antivirus, Firewall etc)
together with Outlook.

I have had trouble for a week sending Plain Text messages
where the text is converted into "Chinese" characters
in my Sent Items box and appears as "Question marks"
in the recipients Inbox.

When I switch off (Close) Bullguard, it works ok.

Thanks, I've tried the same (switch Bullguard off all together) and can now
send in plain text.

It didn't work when only switching the outgoing virus scan off.

Its not unusual for intergrated AV mail scanning to cause problems with
Outlook
As it is whats the point in scanning outgoing mail? either your sys is clean
or its not and your AV has failed in its primary roll

The point is that I have used Bullguard for many years
and it is only last week that this problem occurred.

I didn't mention outgoing mail.
I do want to scan incoming mail !!!!

According to the Bullguard online support this is a known problem. For the
moment the only advise is to turn the spam-filter off

Uninstall Bullguard and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature.
Mail scanning is unnecessary and is close to being the single most common
source of Outlook message transmisison problems.

You stated "plain text msgs sent"

Once again scanning either incoming or outgoing is not necessary, assuming
your AV has a real time scanner
Perhaps see Bullguard support

ok, will do.
Why is mail scanning "unnecessary"?

Yes I talked about "plain text msgs sent".
I meant that - they are the ones that are corrupted
but I don't want them scanned.
It appears that Bullguard is still messing with them, regardless.

I will be contacting Bullguard Live Support
once they have woken up in the USA.
