squares in place of punctuation in outgoing emails

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2002. I create an email in Outlook and the recipient
receives the mail with squares in place of the apostrophes, the quotes and
dashes. I've tried to change
my font and size of font and no difference. It's been happening for a
couple of weeks.
Help!

I am using Outlook 6. My entire text is turning into squares, when I am
posting to newsgroups and in emails. I hope someone out here has advice on
how to fix this. It is very irritating to my other newsgroup members and I am
having to type things twice or copy and paste to word doc until I know it
posted correctly.

Diane,

By character set I assume you mean font? I have used Arial, Garamond and now
Times New Roman. My encoding is set to Western European (ISO). I cannot find
a consistancy on when this is happening by the way, it is not with every
email or post.

Pre-thanx for any advice you have.

Cherish

Does it happen on both replies and new messages? What OS and mail client
does the recipient use?

I am using Outlook 6.

There is no such application. Outlook's versions are 97, 98, 2000, 2002,
and 2003. You're speaking of Outlook Express, an entirely different
application that has its own newsgroup. Ask in there.

I'm the original poster - I also checked my encoding and I'm set at Western
European (ISO). As previously posted I have used numerous different fonts,
not just Arial, Garamond and Times New Roman.

I read another string on this in this subgroup and they had found that the
Spamfighter product was the culprit and that he had notified them of this and
they are aware of it but have not been able to rectify it. I have posted to
them and have not heard back yet. I even downloaded their latest version,
3.09, and the problem still exists.

This problem happens from my computer (again, Outlook2002, WinProXP) sending
out. If I open my same mail account in the POP3 (sbcyahoo) the note does not
have the problems. It happens every time, not sporadically.

I want to keep the spamfighter so I've been typing without apostrophes,
quotes and dashes....it makes me sound like english is my second language!
LOL!!

Any other help would be gratefully accepted!!
