There's definitely a strange encoding/locality issue setup on your machine.  even in this email I'm seeing the text above as the following (and attached):

 but copy and paste into any other programs on my computer, it sees:

I'm note sure knowing this really helps but I have no problem witrh Martin's message.

 

 

so that display was just some font change. the lettering i see above is font=Symbol, so copied/pasted anywhere else it looks fine, and depending on your email settings might look fine.

 

looking at the original email, the plaintext section is:

 

--Apple-Mail=_AEBB7B8F-5775-49CB-B581-8F78EE49F872
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

te a  program I can  run this program  from the command-line !=20
When i write the same program with octave=E2=80=99s  built-in-editor I stil=
l get the same old error code   =20

 

 

which displays fine, but the MIME/html section:

 

--Apple-Mail=_AEBB7B8F-5775-49CB-B581-8F78EE49F872
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

followed by a lot of OfficeDocument XML code.

 

 

 

I trimmed out some of the headers and attached a text file version with the email contents.  I thought it might be related encoding/locality issue but now I'm guessing it's some oddity caused by your "Mail for Windows 10" client.

 

If you can find that option, I would recommend using a plain-text option for email from within that mail client. 

 

 

 

 Thanks Nicholas !
