If you are seeing strange characters in your e-mail, it may be because a variety of reasons, such as copying and pasting from Word or other program. It may crop up after saving, due to the Character Set being malformed.

Subject: Hope all is well!

Hello John,Â

Hope all is well! Â How have you and your family been?Â

Talk soon!Â

To resolve, edit the e-mail and simply delete the characters, then save the e-mail.

Try sending yourself a test to make sure it has been corrected. 

Still Having An Issue?

If you still get weird characters, then try editing the Source Code of the e-mail.

Sometimes a non-breaking space code will cause these characters to occur. Try deleting them from the source code. 

Delete the all the   from the email.
