I'm surprised to hear *this*. <g> OE displays CJK perfectly in the
message list window as well? You can read subject lines? I couldn't do
this with the regular version of Outlook, although most of the messages
would display perfectly. (There are some messages I get that come in not
formatted to Outlook's standards, I guess. Something to do with the
placement of the ISO-2022-JP tag, I think, and these I can only read by
opening the message and specifying the language code, and then saving them
that way.)
Language support is, for example, an IME, versus the default language
locale. I have 'Japanese' selected in the Mulitiple Languages menu on
Regional Settings, and I have MS-IME-2000 installed. No probems with Word,
or Netscape, or MSIE and Japanese.

It's a make-or-break issue for me in terms of staying with this client, and
being able to recommend it to my Japanese friends. I, too, got the version
2 promise. So I'm along for the ride at least that far. But if it doesn't
show up, I'll immediately begin the search for an alternative. (I still
can't believe you can read kanji subject lines in the message window of OE
on and English-language box.) I mean, I believe *you*, I just can't
believe it. ^_-
