Running WinXP Pro SP3. When I open or view most OEx6 messages, I get some
rather strange font characters in my email messages I receive. For example,
I receive the MS Technet posts and here is a line of text from the latest:

"First up, weâ?Tll bring you up to speed on several of the new offerings

Does anyone know how to get rid of those odd "â?T" text characters? I tried
changing to different encoding settings for the fonts I use (Arial Black and
Lucinda Console, Windows Euro encoding), it made some slight differences but
I still had strange characters here and there. It appears they might be
related to punctuation marks or something. I have not added or changed any
fonts from what I have always had, so what is going on?

BTW I am not sure but this seemed to start after I installed SP3 for WinXP.
