A friend of mine has a website that store usernames and passwords, he's just
noticed that when one person in particular asks for a password reminder, the
html character ı gets sent in the reminder email.

He doesn't encode anything as it goes into the database (MS Access/ASP), can
anyone tell me what he needs to do to ensure that the email he sends has the
correct value in it so that the end-user can cut and paste the password back
into the password field on the web form?

Many thanks
