Robin, I'd like to help but can't seem to emulate your problem. I've looked at both Hotmail and IE but there doesn't seem to be a facility for sending HTML mail. Are you keying in direct or copying/pasting from formatted text? > > Each every time the quote symbol ( " ) is used within the e-mail, it > > inserts (..") instead.

I'll have to check what someone gets if I key in but I know it happens if I forward something or someone forwards to me...msn was NO help at all, they're clueless! But it happens all the time...I'll send something even to a PC and all they see is " I guess whenever they're "'s (quote marks). I've checked preferences, etc. but I don't know if it starts somewhere else and MAC changes it or ???

I wrote you back via google but now I see your email, hope it's ok to write you...I thank you for responding! I have seen emails come to me like this and when I forward something, they can't read it because of the "......whether it's a mac or pc. I have a mac osx. And just now, I copied a word doc into a site I'm creating and the "s and 's came out wrong again, this time with a different number: This show had some captivating moments from Lauren’s version of “Falling”, that's suppose to be Lauren's and "Falling" what's going on??? any help is soooo appreciated! Thanks, Robin Rose John, By accident I think I found the correction however it may cause another problem. In IE preferences under Web Content, Active Content I unchecked ENABLE SCRIPTING. I then copy/pasted from word to my web site and tada! no more $quot or #8210 or whatever...but....this is disabling JavaScript isn't it...so what will not be available to me? > > > Each every time the quote symbol ( " ) is used within the e-mail, it > > > inserts (..") instead.

It's an antispam measure. Sorry. I'm beginning to understand now. It's only when you copy/paste from a Word file. Leave the enable scripting turned on. If your browser doesn't read scripts like Javascript then you might miss important content on webpages. If you wish to forward text from a Word file then you'll have to change the smart quotes (the curly ones) to dumb quotes (the straight ones that resemble the symbols for feet and inches). In Word go under the Tools menu click on AutoCorrect... and open the AutoFormat tab. Uncheck the box Replace "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" [I actually keyed in smart quotes enclosing the words "smart quotes" but they came out straight! Amusing.] This ought to fix things. > > well, seems I can't even email you ??? anyway, check this out and if > > you can help, thanks!!! :-) [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > This ought to fix things. Thanks John , I'll certainly do that, however, it's not simply from Word to internet or mail....I received a beautiful email letter from my daughter, hit forward to send to my Dad and it was near impossible to read with all the "s.....and I don't see an Auto Correct in Explorer, so I still think it has something to do with Java...or do I have to put every letter I get into Word first before resending, replying or forward?? Thanks, Robin > > > well, seems I can't even email you ??? anyway, check this out and if > > > you can help, thanks!!! :-) [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Thanks, Robin Sorry, Robin, this has me beat! Maybe somebody else here can help. If I could emulate the problem on my own Mac then I might have a fix, but no. HTML tags appearing for no good reason? I don't know.... One last question though. I assumed you were sending and receiving mail from the Hotmail website -- as I am -- and not via an email client such as Mail, Entourage, Eudora etc. Is this true? > > > > well, seems I can't even email you ??? anyway, check this out and if > > > > you can help, thanks!!! :-) [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > mail from the Hotmail website -- as I am -- and not via an email > client such as Mail, Entourage, Eudora etc. Is this true? YES, HOTMAIL THROUGH INTERNET EXPLORER NOT ENTOURAGE, ETC. OR LIKE I WROTE, WHEN I COPIED FROM SAY A WORD DOC INTO MY WEB CONTENT IT CAME OUT ALL MESSED UP LIKE I SHOWED YOU ANYTIME THERE WAS AN ' OR " I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING ONLINE, THAT'S WHY WHEN I TURNED ENABLE SCRIPT OFF AND COPIED AND PASTED AGAIN, IT WAS FINE BUT THEN, OF COURSE, I COULDN'T OPEN ANY EMAIL AS IT IS ACTUALLY TURNING OFF JAVASCRIPT I GUESS. MAYBE ONE DAY THIS WK. I'LL STOP BY THE MAC STORE IN THE MALL, (YEA, THOSE GUYS ARE BRANIACS, NOT!...THEY COULDN'T HELP MY SON WITH HIS NEW IBOOK AND BIG PROBLEMS WITH IPHOTO). THAT'S WHY I STARTED HERE. THANKS AGAIN...IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING OR YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP, YOU HAVE MY EMAIL..THANKS AGAIN! RR |
