[AT] OT - Spyware problems Character set test

[charlie hill]

Larry,  I don't care about the character set one way or another.  I care 
about the hidden script in the message that needs/wants that character set. 
The message pops up because the e-mail is trying to use some character that 
is not turned on in my computer.  It's no big deal one way or another.  It 
just means that whatever machine originated the message is trying to hide 
some sort of script in the message.  Probably not anything malicious but it 
could be.

Charlie
