I for one cant have that. No one appreciates receiving email with the recipient name in Japanese character, which family and given name are in backward order. This is a constant problem for us. None on address book I know of is intelligent to display pronounced order by detecting what kind of name the entry is. Or if it were capable of appending comma a la European style when detecting non Japanese name! The worst is people send me email with my name displayed in Japanese but backward. It looks so stoopid. When I need to find a musician to sub me tonight, I go through my address book by first name if non Japanese, but family name if Japanese, coz I don't remember their family name if non Japanese, and first name if Japanese. For this reason, my address book entry has family name and first name backward if non Japanese. See, it isn't compatible with email address display. Life is complicated! -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
