| 143137 | 2003-05-11 05:55:00 | He's a webmaster and I used his links to email some help with his website, but when he tried to reply he got "unknown server -- syntax error", which indicates to me that he's typing the address rather than just hitting reply. Maybe has oddball software. Could a keyboard that's set for French perhaps be using different ASCII characters to those we use? He has snail-mailed twice and the second time said "It is always impossible for me to send you e-mails. Your address is not recognized. It is curious that that works only in a direction... Why don't you create an address on Hotmail or other that we can exchange mails?" [He apologised for his "very bad English"] His typed letter didn't have accents over any of the characters. No-one else seems to have trouble emailing me, so the problem must be at his end. I don't know how to get a Hotmail address and guess that asking Mr Google would help, but is it really likely to help? Any suggestions? |

| 143139 | 2003-05-11 06:21:00 | P.S. I'm with Infogen, if that helps. | Deebee (1184) | ||
| 143140 | 2003-05-11 06:28:00 | Oops, we clashed. His address is [Username]@infonie.fr and I'm [Username]@ infogen.net.nz. Unfortunately I don't know anything else about his set-up. After his last letter, received on Friday, I also gave him my sister's email address as she is with a different ISP, but she hasn't heard from him yet either, though being the weekend could make a difference. |

| 143143 | 2003-05-11 06:50:00 | No, my emails leave okay, and he receives them okay -- he just can't reply for whatever reason. Re weekends -- I meant that when the sun shines at the weekend I'm not here, and he could be the same. |
