This is a nice baby-step forward for iso-2022-jp reading, however it is only partially implemented, and the implementation still fails to even match 3rd-party capabilities that have been around for years.
To wit: Absolutely no message subject lines are readable. They are not readable in the subject line of the preview pane; and (even worse) they are not readable in the message list. They are also not readable in the viewer. This includes both the 'from' and 'subject' lines; no Japanese text is anything other than screen garbage. Some implementation. Really guys, we need to be able to read the subject lines in the message list to have a very functional mail client. Imagine how you would feel if all your message list subject lines were nothing but screen garbage? Somewhat lost, is how you would feel. Strangely, a 3rd-party application, NJWIN, fixes ALL the text in ALL these locations (it always has). So, they know something our developers apparently do not know about how to get this implemented (their fonts are not so great in those locations, but the output is readable, and 100 percent correct). Either that, or our developers are taking this in another direction, and this is merely some interim step. I don't know, but the wait is frustrating and I'm about at the end of my patience. Can we get this done, please? If not, I'm ready to move on. It's a nice application, wonderful functionality, but it appeals only to the part of the world where DBCS is not the norm. Perhaps I'm just wasting my time here. And don't even get me started on input. ^_^ Best, Yuki Using The Bat! v2.01 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 2.00.22 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
