I have a Mac. My boss has a PC with Outlook Explorer. When he receives my emails he has little boxes where there are spaces and two boxes for bullets. I type in plain text arial 8 pt. I have to figure out how to get his email to view mine properly. Please help! This has been an on going issue that I have to solve.
In either case, chances are there's a setting for "encoding" that is somehow incompatible between whatever email program you're using and the recipients. Unofortunately you didn't say what email program you use, so I can't guide you as the setting, but it's likely called "encoding", and might have values like "ASCII", "UTF-8", "Quoted Printable" and similar. Try changing that setting.

When I forward an email that contains an animated gif, the recipient only sees a box with an "x" in the corner. Yet, when I forward it to msyelf, I do see the animated gif.
Also: when I receive an email an email, a "J" appears where I know the sender had typed: ":-)". Whose format needs to be changed? Both of ours is set to HTML.
thanks!
