Question marks appear instead of text in Outgoing Outlook 2007 mes

[Elina]

Hello, I have been trying to solve a problem for 4 days now and would really
appreciate someone's help.

I use Outlook 2007 on Windows XP and for the last few days I have been
unable to send any e-mails as they reach the recipients as long rows of
question marks and are not readable.

I have tried hotfixes, reinstallation, but nothing helps.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Many thanks.

Elina

Hi Elina,

I have this same issue and found it only occurs if the email is in Plain
Text. I'm hoping someone will come along with some hints on why this happens
with plain text emails and how to fix this, but in the mean time you might
want to try setting your emails to be HTML in the Options tab before you send
them, as that seems to work okay for me. Hopefully someone will know how to
properly address this issue and will let us know.

Cheers,
Karin

Hi Karin

I have the same problem, but only when replying to emails. New mails are no
problem, but my setting was already set as html. but this does appear to be a
new problem - only surfaced about 4 or 5 days ago. Strange!!

Hey, I've been getting the same since last Thursday :-(
My Sent Items shows "Chinese" characters and
the recipient sees just question marks.

I've tried everything, to no effect.

I posted a thread "Plain Text messages get corrupted"
yesterday but got no help either....

Are you using Bullguard? There is a new bug in their latest update.

Hi
I have the same problem when replying to plain text emails only, I can
resolve it by clicking OPTIONS then HTML but thats a little annoying

I am running Bullguard by the wa and this problem started about 6 days ago

Has anyone resolved this yet, I disabled bullguard and still had same problem
Thanks
Tony

Yes, I contacted Bullguard Live Support.
They told me to switch off Spamfilter - that works.
They said they would email when it was resolved...

Thanks Tadjio

Turned the spam filter off and all is fine
