Well, one thing to note is that only Emacs 21.1 or newer supports utf-8 (and XEmacs doesn't at all, AFAIK); that means that all the Emacs-based mail clients (e.g Gnus, VM, Wanderlust, SEMI, Mew) won't support it unless they're running on a new enough version of GNU Emacs. Given that some of those (like Wanderlust) seem to be popular, and also seem to have a mostly Japanese-only audience, I suspect there are a fair number of Japanese users of GNU/Linux and Unix for whom utf-8 isn't usable. I mention this because I notice Kenn is using Mew (an Emacs-based mail client) on Emacs 20.7. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
