Windows XP Outlook Express Headaches: I can't read or send a message in a different language.

Cause E-mail message headers contain encoding information that Outlook Express reads. If a message comes to you in a language other than English but the header information is not present or correct, Outlook Express does not know how to display the message. You can manually select the language, however. In the same manner, it is easy to send encoded messages in other languages by choosing Format | Encoding in the new message you are creating.

The Pain Killer To read a message in another language, open the message, click View | Encoding, and then choose the correct language.
