When I typed the letters together "a l l" comes out as ~~~ Also happens to
the letter combination "p i n g" - ~~~g. These are the ONLY letter
combinations it happens to, and happens to both upper and lower case.

This DOESN’T happen when I type these combinations on my key board, only
AFTER it goes over the internet, e-mails (come back if these combos are in
the address), web addresses (come back as unknown), and ~~~ on-line search
engines.

I've done/checked everything from virus scans, spyware scans, language
checks, keyboard checks, ~~~ default checks, emptied ~~~ catches, returned
everything I can think of to default, plus MANY other checks. Everything
reports working properly.

I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with the teck from my internet provider,
who cannot think of anything else.

This started after I did the Feb. updates to SP2 which I have uninst~~~ed,
and reinst~~~ed.
OOPS the above words have a l l in them.

Any other suggestions? I NEED THESE LETTER COMBO’S FOR MY JOB!!!

sounds like the encoding for your email software is at fault. Have you
tried using a different email program?
other people email

yours

I believe that is your problem
