Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my windows mail? I am on Windows Vista and really do not want to change to yahoo and gmail but this is really annoying. This is the 3rd person that has received emails in chinese

Can anyone tell me what to do??
Thanks

Go to Tools | Options | Send | International Settings and change the
Encoding there. Try Western European and see if that fixes it.

I do not have a send in options. I tried to change it some where in options and there is not a western europe.

Is there another place I can change it?
Thank you so much for your help

Oh I am on Vista if that assist you.

It seems when I attach a picture that the chinese writing appears. Could that be it? Well,not always. I changed the font to Western Europe (Windows) but it just did it again. It is sooooo aggravating. H E L P again

Make sure you are on the main screen of Windows Mail,
not the message compose screen.

As Gary indicated, on the main WinMail form, go to Tools | Options | Send |
International Settings.

Or in the message window itself, you can go to Format | Encoding.

Tools | Options | Send | International Settings set Western European as
default on the Main Windows Mail form, not the new message form.

That's not chinese

that is the point.
