I am getting weird sets of symbols where there should be nothing, probably caused by the enter key. How can I stop this?
I am getting the sequence � in emails sent to people, although I don't see the sequence until the email is replied to. This is what it looks like in the email:
� NOTICE:� This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee. If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any reading, distribution, copying, or other use of this message or its attachments is strictly prohibited. If you have received this communication in error, please notify the sender immediately by telephone (941-) and delete this message and all copies thereof. � �
Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

Use Yahoo? They appear to have broken their service with that stuff about 9 months ago and appear incapable of fixing it. If they were it would be fixed.
Perhaps I was to quick to guess it was yahoo. Those could be character encoding, However if you are seeing them in your mail before you send them I would be very surprised. Where did the sample paragraph come from. Microsoft word perhaps? lots of issues with typographical things in word that simply have no HTML equivalent, or are translated to HTML badly by word. Thunderbird also has a role, but most issues with word or office documents start with bad data from the office products in question.
Hi, Matt.
Thanks for getting back.
Yes, indeed, it is Yahoo/ATT.net. I do NOT get the characters before I send them. People who get my emails have told me the characters are there, and I see them in the replies, forwards, etc.
It appears that they show up where the Enter key will have been struck, but I can't be sure.
The sample came out of a reply email sent to me. I've attached a Snagit jpeg copy of a segment of the email. I am including part of the full email which includes names, addresses, etc. Not sure if I'm supposed to do that, so either ignore or delete, whichever is best. And let me know if that shouldn't be done.

The remedy for this bug is to open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference mail.strictly_mime to true, OK to close Options.

Thanks. I will ask my friends if they are still getting the characters. Hopefully I won't be writing back....

This will fix it for you for now. It is not a permanent solution as others are moving to only 8bit. So yahoo really need to fix their system. However they do not appear to be capable of much these days. Certainly not responding to their customers.
