Incorrect Character Set Represented

J

Joel McIntosh

This happens quite often. I don't know if it is something I have set wrong
or if Entourage is handling things incorrectly.

When I send a message to a non-Mac user, quite often the quotes (double and
single) appear incorrectly.

One email recipient wrote me and said the "iso-8859-1 character set is not
superset to windows-1252. Single left-pointing angle quotation mark (0x8B)
is not supported by ISO-8859-1. Entourage provides incorrect information
about used character set.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try turning off smart quotes. Go to Tools > AutoCorrect. Click the
"AutoFormat" tab. Under "Replace as you type", uncheck "Straight quotes
with smart quotes", and click OK.
