Re: Japanese characters in Calmail

Hi Bill,

I was able to send and receive messages with "Japanese Kana" and
"Traditional Chinese" using Safari on Mac OS X 10.3.8 with Unicode
(UT-8) configured for "Reading and Composing' in CalMail webmail. I did
not try any of the language specific character encodings.

While testing this out I noticed that the drop down menu for language
encoding seems to be missing from the CalMail skin on the CalMail
webmail application. Could this be the issue? You can get around this
by going to "Options" and also setting the "Preferred Character Set" to
UT-8 (or other character set), or by switching to the "Simple" or "***"
skins, where the drop down menu for language encoding is present in the
compose window.

Regards,
Tony
