Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 This has been happening with my computer as well. It looks as though something is trying to download and I quickly tell it not to. ~~ ----- Original Message ----- > When ever a post from to cosmetic info comes to my in box > ....

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Bobbi, This is the first time I have heard of this. I regularly send emails from my home computer to my office in NJ and have never had any problems like that which you have described. All of my emails are scanned both incoming and outgoing using Norton 2002 Antivirus with the latest definitions. Sorry for the off topic post here but since the question was asked in the group I felt obliged to reply to the group. Young KY Labs Innovators of Fine Personal Care Products www.kylabs.com Weird Things with 's Posts When ever a post from to cosmetic info comes to my in box when I go to read it a window pops up and says something about a download and I think Japanese. Being so worried about viruses I quickly cancel the download. Once I do that the message from appears in the window. Is this happening to any one else? is there something you can do on your end? I promise to take a few more seconds to read what the pop up window says before I cancel it. Hopefully this will help to unravel the mystery.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi Yes I get this it has been happening for a couple of weeks now. it says... To display language characters correctly you need to install the following language pack. Japanese. I have had this before when I receive emails from abroad but usually the language corresponds with the country I get the email from. If you pess cancel you just see the email HTH Tricia When ever a post from to cosmetic info comes to my in box when I go to read it a window pops up and says something about a download and I think Japanese.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Bobbi I'm glad you asked that. , the last three posts I've read from you had that down load for characters. I just clicked " no " and got the message. This one today didn't give me that box. It is weird. Sutton > > > > This is the first time I have heard of this.

I think the problem was specific to and the way he had his mail set up. It looks like he has it cleared now as his last two emails went through without this problem. Pat.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi , I get them too. Usually I get these from a customer in Taiwan. It's the language pack window that pops up. Are your emails set to a different language by chance? It's not a virus but maybe just a setting. I noticed this a few days ago too. It's asking if you want to download the Japanese pack meaning that there are letters written in Japanese.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi , Off Topic ~ Not IMO Since your messages that come to me are from the group I wanted to know if others are having the same experience. The same thing happened when I opened your message this morning. A gray box appeared --- The box said I would need to download a converter that would take 28 minutes. Under that it had Japanese Text When I cancelled the box your message then appeared in an other wise blank message block. Since this is not going to cause my computer to fry it's not a problem. I'll do to the box what I do to the porn messages everyday - hit cancel or delete. I am sure you are not sending viruses - this is not a virus just something very unusual. Thanks,.
