    When we receive a copy of the request from our "Resident Access Form" it contains both large and small "A".  How do we fix this problem.  A copy of the request form sent to us is attached.undefined Screenshot 10

    I did a test submission to your form (http://www.jotform.us/form/62445762506155) and I was not able to replicate the issue.

    Here's a screenshot of the notification email you have received:

    Here's a screenshot of the autoresponder email I have received:

    Is the screenshot you have provided a PDF submission? 

    We'll wait for your reply.

    John,
    Thank you for responding.  I used the Windows 10 snipping tool to copy
    the request. What you saw was the request on my screen. I use Mozilla
    Thunderbird as my intermediate mail client.

    This is probably due to your encoding in Thunderbird.

    You can try changing the encoding:

    Under Tools|Options|Display|Formatting|Advanced you can set the default encoding, which might be useful if the incoming messages fail to declare the appropriate encoding.

    Its fixed.  By changing the Folder properties to Unicode (UTF-8) the
    unusuallettering disappears. Thanks again for your help
