    Copy and paste problem


    Using Win7 64bit and old outlook express.
    On emails from GF in Japan if I copy/paste it comes up as some musically notated gobbledegook.
    All other emails if I copy/paste are fine.
    I suspect the prob. lies on the Japan side but any thoughts are welcome

    Thanks for that R. Had a feeling that it was the way to go.
    Not sure what the implications of installing additional language packs are, do I possibly end up with a Japanese desktop perchance?
