Fraction Display in e-mail.

dragoniro · Dec 21, 2007

Entourage does not display fractions properly. Mail sent from a PC
user where fractions like 1/2 & 1/4 have been changed to a MIME type
are diplayed incorrectly. Mail.app & webmail both display the
fractions fine.
here are some bits of the soucre of an e-mail with the problem.

When you have the message open, try going to Format > Character Set >
Western European (Windows). That seemed to correct the issue with this
message on my machine.
