I sent an email to someone in Mexico. He says when he replies he gets the following error message: "The user does not accept email in non-Western (non-Latin) character sets"
Any idea what to do so I can get his email (it is answers to questions for a job my company is bidding, so I need to get it asap).

Go to Control Panel, click on REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS and then in the popup box, click the tab LANGUAGES. Add additional languages that you need.
Also, he should do the same thing.

The guy replying is using a font set that your email does not deal with. He has to change the "character encoding" to Western (ISO 8859-1 or Unicode (UTF-8) or some such...something is causing his replies to be recognized in some other character set.

Probably their browser only accepts spanish text.
Try putting this on the subject:: respuesta
and copy and paste the word on the email, instead of sending a attachment.

hmmm...one would think you should be able to install the latin language from your XP disk...one also wonders if your mail server may be blocking the content.
i would suggest have your friend spell out any special characters, rather than using anything unique to their language/culture.
hope this helps!

it means you'll need to send it in their language. open outlook express and click on help to search for languages and see if you can do that in there. if not you will need to search for an email program that will do it.
there are many online translators. use the human ones. the machine translators are not very good.

lol, it's because letter encoding is different, tell that person use Western letter encoding(by changing font that the person uses to write the letter)
if the person is using Internet explorer to change that he needs to go to View/Encoding/Western

Maybe you have to change your font characters.
