    Windows Live Mail


    I'm using Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3538.0513).
    When I sent html mail to my friends who use Gmail, they complain that the messages are all garbled with extraneous characters. It resembles html code, but some of the characters are missing (e.g., brackets and such). If I send the message to myself, I get the same thing in Gmail. If I sent the message in text format, all seems to read okay.
    On the options dialog box for WLM I can click on the "Read" tab and then select the button "Fonts".
    Under Font settings I have Unicode selected with Segoe UI as the proportional font, Courier New as the fixed-width font, Font size is Larger and Encoding is Unicode (UTF-8). Default encoding is Unicode. What are the proper settings for fonts for WLM? Are there other Windows 7 Professional settings that effect WLM font rendering? I often get strange characters for apostrophe and quotes. Sometimes the titles in e-mails have characters that are unrecognizable.
    Please help... Thanks...

    Okay Roderunner, didn't think of that!
    It's running right now and we'll see what happens.
    Thank you very much.
