Subject: [CAN-BC-OBITS] Chinese Character Set Message
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2001 12:19:46 +0100


Dear all those who are getting the above prompt message.

Don't worry, this is NOT a virus. For some reason my character encoding
(ie. what the message is written in, eg. Chinese, Cyrilic etc..) was set
to Chinese. I have now changed the default to Western, so there should
be no more problems. Your computer shouldn't crash because of this, but
apologies if I caused any undue heart attacks!
For future reference, for those of you using Explorer, go to the View
menu, choose Encoding and make sure the Auto Select option is checked
(with a tick). If not, select it. You should have not more irritating
prompt messages then...

Again, apologies to all it affected, and don't worry, it isn't a virus.

Sincerely (and very apologetically)
Olivia
