Today, my sister-in-law asks:

At work I keep getting emails from a certain customer and they are all in Greek text! They were sent in US English. I really should switch mail clients, as this one keeps converting it to “Greek.” Any thoughts?

Assuming that they are sending the email in HTML vs plain text and you are using Outlook 2000? If so, they ought to make sure the email is being sent as plain text.

If it is the attachments themselves, then it could be related to this issue.

And finally, if you are a Thunderbird user, the same thing applies - make sure you are reading and writing in plain text to establish a safe email environment.

Do you have an IT-related question? Perhaps you are just burnt out on writing on the walls with crayons? Whatever the comments may be, drop me a line, and you too can “Just Ask Matt!”
