SUMMARY
=======

When you receive a message in your Inbox that has been written in a double-byte
character set such as Kanji, the subject line may include question marks instead
of the actual text.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Outlook data that is not in the body of the message--such as Contacts, Tasks,
and the To and Subject lines of messages--are limited to characters defined by
the sender's code page. Such characters might be unintelligible for a recipient
whose operating system uses a different code page.

You may also be unable to view messages that are written with double-byte
character sets in the Preview Pane.

Additional query words: question marks mark
