This is because the Latin version of the 3.1 ROMs (used on a Palm V)
had a bug in WinDrawChar(), which is used by WinDrawTruncChars, which
is what the Mail app uses to draw truncated strings. The Shift-JIS
(Japanese) version of the 3.1 ROMs is OK.
The fix to the Mail app should be to call WinGlueDrawTruncChars
(found in PalmOSGlue.lib) instead of WinDrawTruncChars, but currently
the glue code still calls WinDrawTruncChars on 3.1 devices. Thanks
for the reminder - I'll update the code to fix this problem for Latin
3.1.
