That looks suspiciously much like Unicodes messages viewed in another (West
European, most likely) encoding. Have you tried switching to Unicode manually
(if you have IE, follow View -> Encoding -> Unicode or UTF-8)? That should
really solve the problem! 
Unfortunately, I don't know how I can change the default settings for outgoing
messages in IE6, so that each message has UTF-8 as its embedded encoding. That
would make it unnecessary for any of you to change the encoding manually each
time. 

Do you have similar problems reading my website, Adam? For example, try:
<http://www.geocities.com/wenedyk/language/texts.html>. It that works properly,
there is still hope!

If not, then of course I will add an ASCII-friendly version to every Wenedyk
message I send in the future.
