@ key
Possible language settings in your email client? Does any character other
than @ appear instead? What country are you in? It appears in different places depending on nationality. On mine (UK) it's Shift-apostrophe. In some countries this will give you a quotation (") symbol instead. Try Shift-2 instead. If this works then your email client is probably set for the wrong language/keyboard. ....Unless of course you're using Windows Mail for both email and news, in which case I don't know, as it's obviously working in this thread. I've just noticed your post was written in Unicode (UTF-8). It actually appears in the title bar of this reply, and that's the first time I've seen it. This may have a bearing on the subject. Unfortunately I can't help here. Hopefully someone else can guide you through setting the right character set. "Boojiboy" wrote in message ... I'm trying to set up my e-mail and can't get the @ key to work. Works fine here, in Word, anywhere but on my set up account page. Any ideas ? Regards, Mark |

@ key
Instead of @ I get ' The shift key doesn't make any difference. Does this
help? I'm also in the UK. I have made sure that language is English and that keyboard is set to same. "Rojo Habe" wrote: Possible language settings in your email client?

@ key
Just a thought...
Open Word and type in your email address. Highlight it, Copy/Paste using Ctrl C then Ctrl V on your keyboard and see if that works. All the best, George "Boojiboy" wrote in message ...
