nicholas55 28 Nov 2005 / #1Hi, I'm trying to get an email to Poland and it keeps kicking back from the PO...I think it's because one of the letters has a dot over the J and I don't know how to get that on... Anyone out there know how to do this?
tamara2 - | 12 28 Nov 2005 / #3Here are all the letters of the Polish alphabet (make sure to select: Central European (ISO) encoding to see the proper letters; to do this, you need to select: VIEW+ENCODING from the menu of your web browser):a ą b c ć d e ę f g h i j k l ł m n ń o ó p r s ś t u w y z ź żHowever, I don't think the Polish special characters (letters with a line over the letter or "next" to the letter) are allowed when sending an email. So when you see "ą", you should type in "a", for "ń" you should type in "n" etc.Tamara
Guest 28 Nov 2005 / #4GuestTherein lies the problem, I can't... The closest I could give is that the small j has an additional . on top giving the impression of being a colon
tamara2 - | 12 28 Nov 2005 / #5j has an additional . on top giving the impression of being a colonIf that's the case, I would try to simply type-in "j" :)
OP nicholas55 28 Nov 2005 / #6I did this, twice... It kicked back, twice... That's why I'm writing to ask for help...Thanks to all who wrote to help... Much appreciated! perhaps the e-mail was given to me wrong... I don't know except that tomorrow I'll re-check with the party who gave it to me in the first place...:)PS Without giving the exact e-mail, after the@, it reads, (poczta.onet.pl), is that at least correct?
tamara2 - | 12 28 Nov 2005 / #7Yes,poczta.onet.plis correct for sure (I used to have an email account with them too). If you could copy-paste the bounced message (I assume it's in Polish) maybe I could investigate a little further ;)
OP nicholas55 28 Nov 2005 / #8Well, the e-mail is from me to the party in question and it deals with personal documents which I'm sending to them and it is not in Polish, it's in English... In fact it's not even directly to the party in question because they don't have a computer... They are using a third party, (neighbors), computer...I need to have these documents signed and returned to me so that I can proceed with something that's important to both of us... The problem is that I don't speak Polish very well, (yakshi mash, fshistko pozjontku), is pretty much it... The party in question speaks only Polish and I can't make heads or tails of it... Maybe it's because it's foreign to me, (lol), just realized what I said... Anyway any further info would not help you... The bounce was from the PO< The Postmaster>Sorry for the delay, I'm cooking something...
tamara2 - | 12 28 Nov 2005 / #9The bounce was from the PO< The Postmaster>I would try to email the party in question using a different email account (when you currently use hotmail for example, try yahoo or gmail); sometimes Polish anti-spam software treats your email as spam. It happened many times to me and using an alternative email account usually worked.
OP nicholas55 28 Nov 2005 / #10I'll try it!I have an account with yahoo, msn, hotmail... What's gmail, maybe I should give that a try too? However, I think you might have something there... I'll post if it works or not... This is something new to me, (forum)... It's been very interesting and lovely talking to all of you...Thanks!Hello,I found the problem! It seems that there was one too many periods in the e-mail address... It should have been one name, no periods except after the @...I found it by trial and error, I kept making changes in my head to the e-mail address... Got it the second time... Just got lucky!Thanks to all who tried to help...
Guest 4 Jan 2006 / #13I don't think the letters should matter at all. I think probably the server maybe down or it is a no longer good address. Try just hitting reply and see what happens to your origianl email. Good Luck
howard 19 Jan 2006 / #15One thing I would like to point out, for US users, you will need to change the encoding setting on the view menu to see other that american alphabet characters properly. or you can get the multilingual softwre install for your operating system and software.
OP nicholas55 22 Jan 2006 / #16I'm sorry Howard,I posted but it seems that it didn't register...Good points!I'll look for some software... Any recommendations?N
