Oh dear, please ignore and delete the firat post on this subject and this post is the one to be sent

I never have trouble with your posts LN because I only read them on Outlook Express.

 Right

Now if I read my Norse course stuff on Yahoo then its all to ****, even on outlook express sometimes Graces posts come out with little squareish thingys in where letters should be, some times not, I have the system that lets you do Alt 0240 for ð but then it looks a square from someone replying, do you see, and then I think hey I did so not say that. I do not know the name of the system I use, you should excuse me I am a computer Idiot

Weird thing is, I could actually read that one, but all the rest are
gibberish to me, and have been for a few weeks.  (Possible to decifer
though with a bit of effort.)  Maybe everyone's gone over to a
different system to me.  Or maybe I've accidentally gone over to a
different system to everyone else.  Can you read these, which are
supposed to be a series of vowels with accute accents + the consonant
letters "ash", "eth" and "thorn"?

Á á, É é, Í í, Ó ó, Ú ú, Æ æ, Ð ð, Þ þ

Or these, which are supposed to be A a, O o and U u + diacresis
(umlaut dots), followed by an 'a' with a ring over it:

Ä ä, Ö ö, Ü ü, Å å

I always read the messages (and post them) at the Yahoo Groups
website, and my posts look the same there as I typed them.  Please let
me know if they're coming out garbled!!
