Once again, after a Windows 10 Update, I'm trying to reset my Windows Live Mail account on a new computer that had Windows 10 already installed.  I don't like Outlook, so I've chosen to use Windows Live Mail.   I have reentered and removed my account in Windows Live Mail several times today, on Sunday and on Saturday.

This is how I set up the Windows Live Mail account.  The messages I have sent have a lot of the Special Characters from the Character Map symbols.  When I use Reply, Reply to All, or Forward, the original message does not appear in the body of the note I’m Sending/Forwarding.

Can anyone tell me why I having the problems I am having with the extra characters or why the original message in not included in Replies or Forwards?

I really appreciate someone tell where I’m making my mistakes, because every time I try to correct the information, it just gets worse.
