Dear Koster, thank you very much for your response...
yes, I had to type out strings of wierdly shaped characters and quite frankly I found it a bit of a pain in the neck 'cos it took about ten minutes....each time I typed out the set of characters I was then presented with a further set/s but eventually the sequence ended and I was able to get on with my emails proper.
Thanks again, Tont Butler
