When that happens, we receive a "NUL characters ar not allowed" error. <mail.anonymous.com #5.5.0 smtp;550 Requested action not taken: NU characters are not allowed.> This error usually happens when we reply to a certain email domain. When this happens, we would retry 2 or 3 times, it usually i successfully after 2 or 3 tries. It only affects a small number of email domain. Other email domain ha no problem. How do we check if the email contains a NUL character? WHat tool can w use to check the email for NUL character? anyone encountered this issue before?

how do i delete everything after a particular character, after each such character?

Undo only by single character in Word 2007?
In Word 2007 under Windows 7, I am noticing for the first time a strange behavior. I know in Word 2002 and OSs up through Vista, undo worked on whole words. Now I find in certain files, that undo works only character by character, not whole words. The drop down list for undo shows, for example typing "e." I notice that in opening a new file, undo works as expected. Ditto for other existing files. The current file for which this behavior occurs was sent to me by a prospective author. The main document at issue is a DOCX file, presumably originated in Word 2007 (or...
problem to save Chinese character document
When I reopen a saved document which was typed with Chinese character, some of the charaters had been changed somehow by itself to different but homonym characters. Please help. Thanks. Could it possibly be Simplified vs. Traditional characters? There's no way Word by itself could "know" about homonymous characters! Each character is simply a Unicode code point, just like the letters of the English alphabet, or any other character in any writing system.

Text over 255 characters won't display
I understand from other posts that the limit on the number of characters in a text cell is large (32K or 64K?). But whenever I enter more than 255 characters, the cell doesn't display. I just get a single line of #s. The cell is formatted as text with word wrap, top aligned, and the row height is auto-fit. Even if I manually change the row height to some large number, it doesn't help. I've looked in vain for a setting that might affect this, but can't find one.
