I’m bringing this topic up again because there seems to be a coding issue with the email editor in Scoutbook Plus. When I copy and paste text into the editor from other applications like Grammarly or MS Word, some characters appear as “?” even though they don’t show up that way when composing the email. It’s important to note that this problem does not occur in the Scoutbook legacy version. This issue needs attention, as it results in embarrassing and difficult-to-read emails.
