It's an incomplete "all languages" at best. I could have the same setup I
have right now with TB! using Outlook, but OL is apparently never going to
have the fix where you can read subject lines in the message window, unless
you configure your system for Japanese default. I'm hoping that TB! will
come through. The MSIE that comes with W2k is fine for just about any
language, however. No problem with moving from Japanese to Latin or any
other char sets. Netscape works, too, so I suppose I could use that for
mail. But people used to Pegasus are looking for something like TB!, not
for toys like Netscape.
To be fair to MS, which goes against my grain <g>, there is apparently a
"multi-language version" of Win2k, which apparently costs an arm and a leg,
but which will handle all these problems just fine. But having just paid
MS for this version, I don't really feel like contributing again. I wasn't
even *aware* of this other version, which is apparently aimed at and priced
for the corporate market, until I had already purchased this one.

It's quite well known in the FEP world, the successor to NJWin.

That's what they say all right. And it's true. I'm voting with my purse,
and if I find out I voted for the wrong app, I'll vote again. Kind of like
Florida, I hear. ^_- <Yuki ducks and runs>

That explains it then. I think we all could use a mail client that can
handle any message coming in with the appropriate language tag, no matter
what the OS is based on. I mean, we can send people to the moon, and now
here in Japan we've unveiled a humanoid robot that will actually pour you a
glass of wine. An all-purpose e-mail app shouldn't be that hard. ^_^
