Re: Japanese characters in Calmail

Hi Bill,

Sorry, I missed the first part of the thread and your question
regarding Eudora. QUALCOMM dropped direct support for Japanese and
other non-English languages a few years ago.

QUALCOMM lists the following vendor's website for Eudora localized for
Japanese:
<http://www.eudora.com/sales/localized.html>

I also happened to find a study done by Robert Y. Eng at the
University of Redlands regarding sending and receiving email in
Japanese under Windows. He looked at a variety of email clients; his
recommended clients were Outlook and Outlook Express:

"Sending and Receiving E-Mail in Japanese under Windows: An Overview"
<http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/
japanese_email-summary.html>

As for composing and receiving Japanese using CalMail, have you tried
the UT-8 character set?
