Your country/language setting – what Yahoo! Mail calls your “Preferred Content” – can be adjusted by following these steps:

1. Click My Account at the top of your Mail page.
2. Re-enter your password.
3. Click Edit to the right of “Member Information”.
4. In the General Preferences category, click the Preferred Content link.
5. From the pull-down menu in the “Preferred Content” window, select the country you want.

Are you seeing garbled characters in a non-US-language email? If so, you can change Yahoo! Mail’s character encoding setting. It’s easy! Here’s how:

1. In the toolbar, click More Actions and select Set Encodings.
2. From the list that appears, select the encoding that matches the message’s content.

Note: Only one character encoding set may be viewed at a time. And in this case, changing your browser’s encoding setting will not work.
