Thread: Please, help me!

I have one problem.
I have russian letters on my computer's typwriter but I can't read russian letters. When I open some russian pages, generally I can read russian letters. But I can't read e-mail. Why? And what to do?
Can somebody help me to solve this, for me, big problem?
THANK YOU!

if you use outlook or someting, there should be a menu option to change the ENCODING. If in outlook, open the email, go to View - Encoding, and try some different cyrillic encoders... there is no one standard of russian encoding, so it happens to the emails now and then!

I hope this helps!

for e-mail, it is usually KOI8-R (UNIX), and sometimes CP1251 (windows)

If you're using a web-based email (ie. yahoo, hotmail, etc), then just right-click on the page, and click "encoding", and you will be given a couple of options with "more" that generally is where you will find what you need. If you ever see a site after that that has messed up Roman letters (ie. a fuzzy square instead of an apostrophe), change it back to your normal encoding to make it look normal...
