Hi, I've used O/E for years with no problems until yesterday. I received several Emails from a friend in the Philippines with no problem. Then yesterday I received one that looked as follows:

DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Dear Bob,</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">_<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoBodyText style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Wow! you had and have a great life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">_ </SPAN>You are lucky enough.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">_ </SPAN>
etc.

I asked to have it resent but it returned the same.It looks as it's in another fomat, but since I have HTML and rich text enabled I don't understand. As I said I have had previous mail from this address without a problem. Baffles me unless I inadvertently changed a setting.
What have I done or is there an international setting or format I need to correct? Could this be from the senders mail server?
