I keep on receiving a certain email in my MSN8 Mail Inbox that I think is important. Everytime I open this email it just shows jibberish (just a bunch of letters and numbers) and there are no attachments or anything else included in this email. My computer does not detect it as a virus. It may be coming from overseas (China), but I am not sure. I have been awaiting an email from China for several months and I have a feeling that this is it. Maybe they typed it in Chinese script and this is how I am receiving it. I have emailed them back telling them that their email is in jibberish and to type it in English, but I keep on getting the same kind of email back. Is there a program that may be able to decipher this jibberish? Is the jibberish maybe some kind of programming that is supposed to be a webpage? Here is an example of part of the jibberish "uspfzdteydegamozb7zhbs48ng2dmngwi3rawosxnuye7l7c048vtqmpvcotjavs3wvducup". I am not sure if MSN8 has it's own Help and support or if it is part of the Windows XP group - I thought I would try.

I would try to forward the e-mail to a different e-mail account to see if it would be caught as a particular language. I do know that Microsoft Outlook Express does catch e-mail sent in different languages and then asks you to download a translation program for it. I am also wondering if the sender just has a "security" setting on his e-mails that automatically encodes the message and it needs to be decoded at your end. You'll have to see if MSN8 has the capability for this. Good luck!
