I use outlook 2000 and my emails are doing the same thing. I look in
my options and my encoding is set for Western European (windows). But
everything coming back to me (even if I send it to myself) shows up as
Central European (windows). I guess I am a little concerned that
something is going on I don't understand.

Outlook and Outlook Express are very different programs. You'll get more
knowledgeable help for Outlook in an Outlook newsgroup:
