Hello-

This could probably be better addressed in the Outlook ng (or one that deals
with the email client software you use), but one possibility is that your
friend is using a font that he/she thinks is 'cool' but noody else in th
world has installed on their system... including you.

Have your friend use a more common font or send the email as text and see
ifthat helps.

Also, if your friend is using a Macintosh computer, ask him/her to be sure &
use their email client's 'Windows friendly' settings.

If the text displays as HTML code, with tags such as <p> and </p>, and
your email application cannot handle this, a workaround is to save the
email as plain text, with an *.htm extension, and then read it in your
browser.
