As I just signed my message (dated Tue, 07 Feb 2006) with "Anna in > Sweden" I want to clarify my full name: Anna Hallgrčn. No need to apologize it is a Rootsweb digest problem. Your name has accented characters which are not allowed in email headers. To allow these characters they must be encoded to conform to the rules for email and are converted to a character string that is allowed. Normally the receiving email program decodes them and most people never see the strange character string. The headers of any email may only contain US ASCII characters (I.E. those characters in the first 127 characters). Accented characters are not in those 127 allowable characters. Normal email and mailing lists but not digests send what they receive to the destination where the receiver's email program converts what appears to be strange characters to the necessary plain text characters. Rootsweb digest does not convert the headers before putting them in the digest and since they are now in the body of the email and not in the headers of the email your email program does nothing, leaving the strange character encoding. -- Robert Blair
