Control Center š-> Personalization -> Country & Language: > ???????? ??????? Country:??????? ??????? Ukraine (ua) The message you wrote is in some encoding that contains 8-bit characters. This is why in my mailer, which is configured to read either of two languages (English and Greek), the message in question appears as an illegible collection of '?' characters. These lists are frequented by people who do not always have support for random encodings that one might use for mail written in languages other than plain ASCII. So, please post your questions in English. Otherwise, there is great chance that nobody can read your message (unless they are Ukrainian, of course), and being unable to read it, nobody will take the time to reply.
