I think, the LingQ of the day is a really good idea.
But the special German alphabetical characters (I don’t know the english word for ä, ö, ü, ß etc.) receive me not correct in the email. I see in the header, that the email is send in Unicode (UTF-8). In the header there is Content-Type: text/plain; charset=“utf-8”.
Even if I choose UTF-8 or Westeuropäisch (ISO), these special characters are not shown correct.
Do you have a hint for me, what I can do or where I was false?
Thank you.
Hi Lila,
nice to have you here. I think we have a similar situation (long time never used English, hating English at school…)
I am here in LingQ since March 2007.
For me the letters in “Word of Day” or others are correct. Do you have Internet Explorer or another?
Only I’m no technical and I think, Mark will help you better than I.
I would at first say Hello to you.

Hi Irene,
your question is good. I forgot writing down these informations. I use Internet Explorer 7 and also a special program (really unknown) for mails. You have been welcome me some time ago in the german forum 
Thank you for the warm welcome again in english. Nice to meet you here.

Hi Lila,
Our emails are plain text emails in UTF-8. They should display correctly and seem to for most email clients. This sounds like a problem specific to certain email programs. If you have already tried adjusting your settings and had no success, there is not much else I can recommend.
We will look at sending these emails in HTML format in the future so you may have better luck then.
Thank you Mark,
I think you’re right, the problem is the email program. I added this email-account to Outlook and then it works.
