I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct forum for this problem, but hear me out. I have put together a site for a client which allows him to email some of the content. The emails have to be sent in HTML format. This is all working perfectly, EXCEPT that some email clients, once they receive the emails, are showing the occassional strange character ( Â ) - Don't know if you can see that, but it's an upper case "a" with an accent "roof" on it.

Any idea why this might be?

If it helps, I am using htmlMimeMail to send the emails and have this in the header <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />

Hi tchallies,

Is this completely random, or is it the same email client, or same platform or same environment? Is there any commonality at all?

It seems to be fairly random (though I'm sure there is some reason to it). I'm guessing it has to do with the character encoding.
