I did not see the second question get answered, so here is mine: The fonts
used to display a message are set on the mail preferences for Entourage, and
usually default to a reasonable font for the language. In the case of
Japanese, you need a font that can display $BF|K\8l(J (Japanese language)
characters. If Entourage did not switch, then these characters would be
displayed as garbage characters.

By the way, my usage of Entourage with default setting to non-English is
likely to become more common in the future as more and more business is
transacted internationally and a greater percentage of the US population
becomes multilingual. The US as a single free trade zone with limited
international connections (i.e., the 1950s - 1970s model) is coming to an
end.
