The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem with incoming email encoding in Outlook 2003

Asked by Matrek in Email Clients, Exchange Email Server, Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , , ,

Hi Experts,

We are experiencing problems when receiving emails from our clients. Sometimes, because of the location of the sender (example : Europe) or the service he's using (ex:hotmail, yahoo.fr).

The best way to describe the problem is to give you this example. This is what the email looks like when I receive it:

Ce poste mÂ’intéresse  grandement puisque mon expérience dans l e milieu commercial nÂ’a fait quÂ’accroître mon sens de la communication et du relationnel ; De plus jÂ’aimerais me servir de mes compétences afin dÂ’améliorer lÂ’image et les performances de votre entreprise.

 Résidence : 3 clos du près de l’étang

I tried several things :
- In Outlook, tools, options, mail format, international options. I tried several types of encoding there but it didn't change anything
- Tried to change the encoding in IE7 as well.
In Outlook, I opened the message and then went to View, Encoding and try every possible types of encoding that was listed. Yes it did change the encoding of the email but none of them did the trick as to fix those special characters.

Also, by default, I always use UTF-8
