Hello LLTIers,

We just migrated our campus BlackBoard system from 5.x to 6.1 and most of the
diacriticals in our Spanish courses were lost in the course rollovers.

Has anyone had experience with this? Suggestions for resolving it?

Some characteristics are summed up here:
>Foreign characters appear incorrectly in emails
>Symptoms:
>Foreign characters that are entered in the subject and message areas of emails
sent from within the Content System appear as question marks (?).
>
>Discussion Board attachments that contain foreign characters in the file name
cannot be viewed.
>Symptoms:
>An error message is displayed when the user attempts to open the document. This
issue appears under all conditions.

We'd appreciate any suggestions for us as classes start Monday.
Thanks,
Gus
