Chinese letters

[Henrik Vendelbo <hv...@bluprints.com>]

Is it possible to insert a filter mechanism in the listserver, s� settings for chinese letters are removed from messages. I mean this is an english speaking thread, and people with chinese enabled e-mail clients somehow have their mail content flagged as chinese.

I agree. I don't speak English as my first language either. I don't like when software companies take for granted that everybody speaks english. I like to be able to choose. But I also dislike how "modern" software becomes huge gobs of code that you don't need. 
Given this is a developer oriented forum, the suggestion seemed sensible (although not crucial in any way)

On the other hand Outlook Express seems to have a buggy IMAP interface, so I'll probably install Netscape. You probably notice my dupe messages last week, but that's not all; It gets confused by my ISDN router connection. "Unknown error" every second time.
But I guess it's just typical for a corporation so focused on slickness that they forget technical quality.

It is cool unless your using my copy of Outlook witch fails to install the
language support when you ask it to :o(

Which strikes me as quite tolerant if you are on a high bandwidth line.. :)
Offering to display the content in the native language it was written in
rather than $)(aRF type of junk is pretty cool.

The problem is that with Outlook Express, we get a message that wants to
download a 3 meg language plugin for every language we run into.

Or just get a better E-Mail client that supports chinese encodings, like
Netscape 4.7, and be a little bit more tolerant...
