704652 2008-09-12 04:42:00 Here is problem that has been put in the too hard basket by all participants:
Using windows XP and outlook express e-mail programme, whenever I get an e-mail from trade me it has all the formatting jargon such as =OA=OD stuff in between the words of the e-mail. I have contacted Trade Me who say I should contact my e-mail provider and my e-mail provider, Xtra says it can't help and to contact Microsoft who say if I want a technical expert it will cost me $75.
Now all my other e-mails from friends, other companies come through perfectly so why should it be only confined to Trade Me ?
Any ideas please.

704654 2008-09-12 10:37:00 I think they are =0a =0d actually. They are carriage returns.
Try this

1. In Outlook Express, click Options on the Tools menu.
2. Click the Read tab, and then click International Settings.
3. Click to clear the Use default encoding for all incoming messages check box, click OK, and then click OK.

704655 2008-09-13 02:44:00 The commands are all =OD=OA=OD=OA. Now why should this problem occur with Trade Me e-mails and not to others I receive. Logic tells me that there is something different with Trade Me e-mails than other e-mails, but what this difference is I don't know. heaton (3697)
