I was using Outlook Express in XP Pro with no problems. I upgraded to Windows Live Mail for XP and now when I send a message it is not formatted properly and it has code like this in the message.

        –––&ndas
h;––––––––––&n
dash;–––––––––&ndash
;––––––––––&nd
ash;––––––––––
––––––––––&nda

sh;–––––––

I have tried changing the mail send options to html or plain text. Playing with the different settings but it has made no difference. I found a thread where it said the sender is not in allowed contacts and I made the change by setting up my account manually and that error disappeared. Regardless the mail messages still have the &ndash html codes in them. I did go back to Outlook express and test and I can send the same messages and it doesn't put &ndash in them so this is specific to Windows Live. Even looking at this message I just copied the above from the bad message and now even what I type right now is not formatted properly.

What is wrong?
