When I forward emails I received from someone else occasionally the recipient has these symbols added to my email. How can I avoid them? I am using Windows 7, SeaMonkey 2.49.3. Thanks.

I installed 2.49.4. It would be nice if SeaMonkey would notify me when they have updates. Just last week I checked Help/Check for Updates and it said "There are no updates available."
Auto-update is broken at the moment. There were some major infrastructure upheavals, and it isn't all sorted out yet.
I regularly see those symbols in email I receive. If I close the email and reopen it, then the symbols are no longer there. I wish there would be a way to avoid them all together. . . . . . . . . . . Pete
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work for me. I did find someone else with my problem in a thread back in 2008 (below). However, it didn't look like there was an answer. He described many of the symbols I see from time to time.
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=736705&start=0 Now I am getting this symbol at the end of sentences: � How do I get rid of that symbol on messages sent to me?
Try closing and reopening the email message.

Thank you. The problem seems to have disappeared for the time being.
The unwanted symbols have reappeared. Mostly question marks in the spaces between sentences. It seems to occur only when I cut and paste a message sent to me that I resend. Also, when I receive an email that someone has forward to me an email that was forwarded to them. I have even got my email messages replied back to me that now had the question marks. I have not had the � symbols reoccur. I am using SeaMonkey 4.49.4 with Windows 7. This problem is frustrating and embarrassing.

Put about:config in addressbar and press Enter. Search there for mail.strictly_mime entry. Right click that entry and Toggle to true. You're done. Metal Lion latest SeaMonkey & Thunderbird Themes - Sea Monkey and Silver Sea Monkey
