Sounds like maybe you're replying to a message which is using a different
character set (the default for newslink and nntpservice.js is "IBM437") than
Outlook Express is configured to use.

Or maybe it's only happening when you're responding to messages which have
Ctrl-A codes embedded in them?

I'd be curious to know if this warning comes up with posting a new message (not
a reply) or not.
