How many of us have not received an e-mail in an unreadable encoding at least once? In such a situation, do not rush to ignore the message or scold the sender. Recode the text and you can read it.
Instructions
Step 1
Copy the text of the message to the clipboard. Then open the text editor KWrite, Geany, Notepad ++ or Notepad, depending on which operating system you are using. Paste your text into it and save.
Step 2
Open a new tab in your browser. Enter in its address bar the full local path to the file where you saved the text.
Step 3
It is possible that you will immediately see the text in readable encoding. If this does not happen, try to select in the browser menu the item "View" - "Encoding" - "Select automatically" or similar. If this also does not help, try using the same menu to select the encoding suitable for the file manually.
Step 4
If you are using the KWrite editor, try to select the correct file encoding in the same way.
Step 5
The above methods are useless if the text has undergone several transformations before sending it to you. Then you need a special tool - the Decoder website by Artemy Lebedev. To use it, go to the following link:
www.artlebedev.ru/tools/decoder/ Paste the text to be decrypted into the input form, then click the "Decrypt" button. The encoding will be determined automatically
Step 6
If the automatic version of the "Decoder" is wrong, try using the manual one. To do this, follow another link:
www.artlebedev.ru/tools/decoder/advanced/ Enter the text in the left input field, select the original encoding and the required encoding, and then press the "Decrypt" button
Step 7
Finally, if Artemy Lebedev's Decoder did not help you, use the services of one of the following sites in the same way:
Step 8
Do not, under any circumstances, use any online decoders to decode confidential texts.
