MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007Outlook 2007 displaying special characters
What do I need to change in Outlook 2007 to have it display special characters correctly and not display random characters such as ß for the German "sz"?  SignatureKarl In general you don't have to change anything for that.

It sounds like the "ß" got converted then already before Outlook receives it. Does it show correctly when you look at the message in your webbased mailbox? If yes and if you also have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook, disable this integration and try again.

Dear Roady, MSN Hotmail displays the characters correctly. Turning off the virus and spyware components of Windows Live OneCare did not solve the problem if Outlook 2007. I didn't have this problem with the earlier version of Outlook. SignatureKarl > It sounds like the "ß" got converted then already before Outlook receives > it.

If the latter I suggest you use the Outlook Connector instead.
