I sometimes get font/formatting messed up on incoming messages.  I've looked 
in all the settings I can think of & can't find the answer.  It looks okay 
in my web-based email version, but when Outlook downloads the message, it 
gets corrupted.

For instance, this:

'Get Fit!' - Yoga w/ Tess
'Get Fit!' - Pilates w/ Meghan

became this (hope the corruption is visible):

��  �?~Get Fit!�?T �?" Yoga w/ Tess
§�  �?~Get Fit!�?T �?" Pilates w/ Meghan

I've tried changing various font & international settings, but haven't found 
the right thing.  I'm running Outlook 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO 
(12.0.6425.1000) - enterprise version provided by my university.

Any help much appreciated!

....Well the corrupted version actually looks a little different than what I 
see in the message I just posted, but hopefully, you get the idea.

Outlook 2007 uses Word as its rendering engine and, as such, does not present 
HTML messages exactly as a web browser might.  In particular, there are 
significant differences in how it interprets CSS information.  Expect rendered 
HTML to look different in Outlook than in a web browser.

Thanks Brian!

I sort of knew that (sort of!).  So there are no settings to get a better 
display?  Just have to live with it?

There are guidelines to write HTML so that it is rendered in nearly the same 
fashion by both a web browser and Word, but the sender must follow those 
guidelines.  I doubt you'll convince your senders to comply with the 
restrictions necessary.
