My PC running Windows 95 Outlook Express sends all characters like
exclamation marks etc as strange codes.

If I send all the characters of the keybord:
~!@#$%^&*()_+`1234567890-=
QWERTYUIOP{}|qwertyuiop[]\
ASDFGHJKL:"asdfghjkl;'
ZXCVBNM<>?zxcvbnm,./

it is sent like this:
+AH4AIQBAACMAJAAlAF4AJgAq-()+AF8AKwBg-1234567890-+AD0-
QWERTYUIOP+AHsAfQB8-qwertyuiop+AFsAXQBc-
ASDFGHJKL:+ACI-asdfghjkl+ADs-'
ZXCVBNM+ADwAPg-?zxcvbnm,./
What is the problem?
Thanx
Paul
