I should have been clearer. I'm using English Win2k with Traditional
Chinese as the default system language. I used to use TB on my
Chinese Win98 system. In both cases, I could basically read/write
Chinese without creating a new encoding in TB. I did that only
because I want to be able to send Chinese email with the "charset"
field set as "big5" (a commonly used Traditional Chinese encoding).
With English Win95/98/NT4, as with English Win2k when the default
system language is set to English, I believe (I tried at the
beginning) I could read, but not write, Chinese.
I know nothing about Arabic encoding (is it single byte or double
byte?). Judging from my experience, though, you should be able to
read Arabic mail with proper fonts installed without having to
create a new encoding. It should does no harm to try, either.
HTH.
