strange letters with received email on outlook 2007

Wow is right, that system is years old!
I'd do a virus scan on it while you're there, that thing has probably been vulnerable for years!

Obviously updates are needed here first, but if the issue persists, it can very likely be due to the original item being sent in a very specific encoding.
I run into this often with file names when people in Japan send a document.
The only solution I have it so retype the name or change my system base language.
Here is how I have my desktop setup for example.

for example : X send email to A and B and C ....only A have this issue
So, the question then is how do A's settings differ from B and C's? In particular, look at the language, formatting and font settings. Also check whether A has any Outlook add-ins installed than B and C do not - especially antivirus add-ins.

But what was the sender's system setting? That should not matter in an application such as Outlook, but it is always something I try to check once all the basic troubleshooting steps prove fruitless.

yes you are right, i have to check that also, but if only the sender is someone who is from the users

Check A's language and font settings to see how they differ from B and C's.
