Outlook 2k: Plain Text - Central European (Windows)

[Puddin' Man]

Hi,

I am running O2k on W2k sp4.

I thought "Plain Text" was Plain Text, but I get messages in, say,
"(Plain Text) - Central European (Windows)" and/or other "European"
designation and the font and/or size is different from my (default
specified) "Plain Text".

What are these "European" designations? Can I convert them to
ordinary plain text? If so, how? My little ("edit") routine for
converting html doesn't work.

Thanks,
Puddin'

it's text encoding. You'll need to change the encoding to your default
encoding.

Would appreciate it very much if you could explain how that might be
done.

I don't have outlook 2000 installed to check, but it should be something
like open the message, then look on its options, select encoding and pick
the one you prefer.
