groupes qui constituent en eux-mêmes une valeur ajoutée pour l'ensemble. Le présent numéro de PLAN porte sur les femmes en ingénierie et les professionnels formés à l'étranger (PFÉ), deux groupes dont la croissance est constante. Vous y trouverez de nombreux témoignages de femmes qui ont fait reculer les barrières et de PFÉ fiers de faire part de leurs expériences d'acclimatation, parfois au sens premier du mot !

using windows live mail, when receiving emails in french, i get strange characters in place of accents...im not sure if this a bug, or email options setting....i use read in "plain text" option...any other suggestions

they appear normal when i send an email to myself.


thanks

Although I don't know if these will work, they may be worth a try. Windows Update makes available language packs, so you should make sure you have installed the French Language pack. Also, Windows Live Mail has a spell check feature under Options/Spelling with many downloadable language packs, including French.

thanks roncerr,

ill try those, but since it doesnt do it when i send myself an email, i would assume its some sort of encoding the sender is using making it incompatible with my client configuration...also i noticed earlier in the year, this senders emails were looking normal, so dont know whats changed?
