    A problem with the @ on my outgoing email. When I shift and hit the @ key it does not appear. It is strange that I can get to work on here.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    More information is needed. What OS and what email client are you using? :)

    Windows mail and vista home basic. As you can see the @ works here and i have several other email sites that I use and it works there.

    Appears that I am only having a problem with Windows mail

    This MAY be a workaround. :)

    You might like to visit http://rmhh.co.uk/ascii.html for a list of character codes.

    Try holding down the Alt key and press 64 on your numeric keypad. You should get an @ sign. This is easier on a desktop keyboard, rather than on an older laptop keyboard (those without a separate numeric keyboard)

    See attachment for a partial listing.

    Hope this helps.
