a friend emailed me in arabic recently via my yahoo account, but the text of the message arrived as gobbly-gook (e.g. the first line of the message says: ãä ÞÇá Çä ÇáãÑÃÉ ÇáÎáíÌíÉ áÇ ÊÕæÊ¿ Ýåí ÊÕæÊ ãä ÎáÝ ÇáßæÇáíÓ . ÇíÖÇ åí ÊÓæÞ Ýí )
is there any setting i can change on my yahoo mail account that will fix the problem? or is yahoo mail just incompatible with arabic script? (the latter would seem to be unlikely since my friend is sending the message from a yahoo account of her own in saudi arabia)
UPDATE: kelly left a comment that led me to the answer. problem solved!
