Now come to think of it, I'm not so sure anymore. It happened when I
was trying out TB and Becky. At the same time, I was planning a
migration from Chinese Win98 to English Win2k. So for a brief time,
I was using them and OE (my old email client) concurrently,
switching back and forth between C-Win98 and E-Win2k.
I wanted to use English as my default system locale, with
traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language
support installed. I remember I could read/write Chinese (I don't
write Japanese) equally well in OE and Becky, including subject
lines in message list pane.
I wasn't going to stay with OE much longer, so the choice came down
to Becky and TB. Despite Becky's excellent DBCS support (perfectly
reasonable for a product from a Japanese programmer), I liked TB
substantially better. So much so that I was willing to settle for
using Traditional Chinese as my default system locale to workaround
the DBCS deficiency.
Since neither Becky nor OE is on my system anymore, I couldn't
verify it.

It's not make-or-break for me for the moment, since I'm in the U.S.
and read/write Chinese email only occasionally. It will be in a few
months.

Same here.
