A couple of posters are getting this in their replies and postings
to me '
One uses Windows 7, the other Bluemail for Windows.

Anybody got an idea what this is all about?



This in their emails.

Their email client has encoded it as HTML/XML escapes and your client is
not decoding it again so you see literal HTML for special characters.

That is a guess based on your garbled description of the symptoms.

Send them an email that contains '& and see what happens.
