I'm using System.Web.Mail to send HTML formatted e-mails, and something very
bizarre is happening.
When I send a message to myself, it looks fine, but when my client sends one
to herself, she gets a single exclamation point inserted, usually in the
same spot but sometimes it shifts a place or two, within the text.
The message is about 13 lines, and it is only one character that gets
inserted, so I find this very strange. There is no ASCII that could be
mis-represented in the source, and I have re-entered the text a couple of
times.
For example, the line:
message.Body = "valid for 30 days";
appears in her e-mail as:
valid f! or 30 days
It is getting embedded in the source as I see it in the messages she returns
to me.
Has anyone seen anything like this? I can only guess that her mail client
(Outlook) is embedding the character, but why?

Yes I have seen this before. I can't remember exactly how it manifested
itself but I had basically the same problem, outlook replacing some
characters. I seem to remember it had something to do with the outlook
trying to add in it's own formatting around relevant fields (subject,
from, to etc) although I can't be 100% sure.
This problem drove me mad for several days, and it was definitely
Outlook doing the reformatting. I suggest trying to send the same
message to a hotmail account to prove to your client that it is an
Outlook issue, I don't remember finding an appropriate fix for this!

Thanks Matt,
At least nice to know that I am not the only one who has seen this. I'll let
you know what I find (if anything).

Subject: Losing random characters in HTML email
Date: 28 November 2003 17:21
I've narrowed down my code as much as I can so that I can show you this bug.
The reason the a's are there and not removed is because if I remove them the
problem doesn't show itself. It seems that there is a pattern and the nth
character does not show. Weird stuff.

I have created a side application in VB.NET which reads
rows from a DB and builds an email message.
when i have a long string the the mailmessage.body or the
mailmessage, it puts in an "!<linefeed><space>" at about
every 980th space. I have confirmed that these characters
are not in the string or the message body before the email
is sent. Has anyone seen this or have any thoughts?
Thanks

I have a strange situation using Access to automate a Word mail merge. Using
Access 2000 and Word 2000, the code opens Word, opens the document in Word,
sets a table
in the calling Access application as the data source, and then performs a
merge. Everything works fine.
However, when a user uses it in Access 2002 and Word 2002, an extra instance
of the Access application is opened and remains open at the end. Sometimes
it remains open

Hi,
A book that I'm currently using notes that the fgets() function does
not
return until Return is pressed or an EOF or other error is encountered.
It then at most (in the absence of EOF/error), returns n-1 characters
plus
a appended null character.

hey geeks,
I have a small mail script which will cause a PHP script to send a receipt upon clicking the submit button, by an HTML mail. This mail contains special characters, namely 'å', 'ä' and 'ö'. Whatever I try, I can't get these characters to display properly everywhere. In some email clients, these characters show up just fine, whereas in others they show up as question marks or kinda boxes. I've tried sending the mail as UTF-8, as...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
