MY GMAIL HAS BEEN CORRUPTED BY A CYRILLIC LANGUAGE

There is a specific group where you can post your question with google
itself, but you must join, which shouldn't be a problem.

OOOOps...by the looks of it, this group doesn't exist anymore and I hadn't
noticed. It must have been omitted recently. Sorry about that. <H>.

How are you accessing Gmail? Apart from online via Internet Explorer, do you
mean you read it with Outlook Express, ie is that what you mean by
*reinstalling it*? Can you read it online with Mozilla Firefox? What does it
look like *online* in one or both those browsers? Eg if okay, then we're
talking about purely an Outlook Express issue, are we not?

And - just out of interest - why are you posting an XP question to the
pre-eminent Windows Millennium Edition newsgroup?
