Outlook express problem # instead of £.......HELP!!! Please!

[Andy]

Hi people, thanks for your help in advance on this one.

Im having a strange problem with outlook express. If im
sending an email with £ signs on it, the reciver of the
email gets # where the £ signs where.
Everything appears fine on my screen, the sent folder
shows the £ signs correctly on my screen but on the
recivers screen all they get is #.
Doesnt seem to be a problem with any other symbols and iv
checked all my regional settings.

Any help on this would be great

Thanks again

Outlook Express questions should be asked in Outlook Express newsgroups.
This isn't one.

The answer is that the person receiving your message is viewing it with a
font containing the "#" in the same character position as your "£", not
usual for fonts.

That should have said "...not unusual for fonts."
