My experience of mixed English and Japanese texts is that the Japanese often 
does not appear correctly. Probably because of auto-converting. This is no 
problem with a webpage as it is easily corrected, but not sure how to do it 
with an email. Of course, with oriental languages you would have to have 
suitable character sets installed on your machine.

I have a similar experience with Phoebus' greek - sometimes it reproduces 
correctly and sometimes not. In general I have few problems with foreign 
character sets on my emails.

One thing that has always fascinated me is Tony's mails. Sometimes at the 
end of a paragraph I get I get (8-)#. I am not sure what it means.

It was, of course, mischievous of me to send a message in unicode. It is 
better to send only in ASCII,

Best Wishes,

Geoff
