Your client software is Juno. So check the settings in Juno.

The browser won't make any difference. It just displays what it has been told to show.

It is a known issue with Juno.

I can't find any settings anywhere. I guess I'm misunderstanding something. I'm not running any Juno software on my machine. It's strictly within a browser window that accesses Juno.com to sign in and work with all the email, just like Yahoo and Gmail.

You aren't running it, but the server is. The software is on the server. You only use the browser to see it. It is the same with all web based email, the client code runs on the server. That includes gmail, yahoo, msn, all of them.

That's kind of what I thought, but wasn't seeing it as server/client, just a Juno server was allowing me to connect and manipulate my email via a browser. Perhaps I should be contacting Juno support. Or, I might just move my forum setting to Yahoo, since I already know it renders the text correctly.

Thanks, retina! I appreciate the help.

Hmm. I assume your emails are in an inbox at the web site. I would look at the web site for viewing or reading options for your messages like "long headers" or "raw content" which is what even rudimentary email programs on personal computers have offered for decades.

Since FF has no built in email client, you could use Thunderbird as a proper client.

Tells you how to set-up a client with Juno. That may help.
Juno is old and has not seen much in the way of updates in a long time.

I couldn't find such in the search I did, but it's quite possibly there. I'm thinking the easier solution is to direct forum messages elsewhere. (Or, not worry about what the subject says, since they are mostly just the same note that something has occurred and the real info is within the text body, anyway.)

Thunderbird would tie me to a machine. I actually did that a few years ago, but now those messages are effectively lost due to machine changes. Keeping the messages on the cloud allows me to get them from many different tablets, lap/desktop systems. I'm often looking for older messages.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Are those private message notifications?

If so, it could be the weird font we use.

Code:
$ echo "ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ɴᴇᴡ ᴘʀɪᴠᴀᴛᴇ ᴍᴇssᴀɢᴇ ᴀᴛ ᴍᴇʀsᴇɴɴᴇғᴏʀᴜᴍ.ᴏʀɢ" | od -c

These are the general message notifications, but the private ones look very similar. The images I attached are what displays for the same subject with the two different email systems. The readable one is Yahoo and the unreadable is Juno. But, at this point I think I'll either "live with it" or direct the notifications to Yahoo. I had thought I was simply missing a font, but it has gotten much more involved.

We will change the emails to use normal characters.

Edit: Done!
