• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I use the Mail client on OSX and, with the exception of mail from one contact, accents and special characters appear without problem.

But this happens when I receive mail from said contact.

C'est une trĂšs bonne nouvelle

should of course read, C'est une très bonne nouvelle.
Every accent they use appears a mess

I would like to think that the problem is at their end but what are they doing to cause this?
 
Changing the font was my first thought. I'll ask about the mail client. My suspicion is it might be something weird and obscure.

What ? Like Windows ? ;)

My money is on a weird font that they are using.

Interestingly, Googling trĂšs comes up with quite a few hits. Most strange.

Thanks,
I am awaiting further info
 
Very strange. Looking at the hex code for those two characters, it is
02 01 and 61 01 respectively.

The other characters have the correct code to display ...for example t 74 00

Note the 00 and 01 ...that has to be something to do with it although where that comes from I don't know. The e acute code in hex is E9 00 ..there's that 00 again.

Something to do with unicode ?
 
Thanks Roger, I was not expecting that level of analysis. I'll have to look up hex code now just to find out what you are talking about.
Yep had a look and am now even more baffled.

Might be the weekend before I know more.
