Can anybody tell me how to display chinese in the subject field of
MS Outlook 2003? I configed IME in " Regional and Language" , Mail
body can display chinese, but subject field seems not to work on
chinese.


Thank
Well, like I said Outlook does not support this -- it will
only use the
default system code page (b.k.a. CP_ACP) for subject lines and
any other
part of the header.
My email client is outlook which does support international
character
sets. I can send/recieve non-ascii encoded body but not the
subject line.

BTW, MS OE doesn't support it while Mozilla does support it.
This is simply not true! I know we all like to bash MS from
time to time,
but people really get far too carried away. I don't know if the
above is
true about Outlook (as my installation is stuffed as far as e-
mail goes), but
it is NOT TRUE about Outlook Express. OE encodes the subject
line with the
same encoding as the body and often (?) the From header as well.
I stand corrected(thank you for correcting me). It's possible to
enter
whatever script supported by IMEs installed on your system in both
Subject(and other headers) and body of the message. However, what
I wrote about the display of the headers in scripts NOT supported
by the default system code page still stands. For instance, MS
OE cannot display Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian headers under
English/French/Spanish/Italian/German MS-Windows in _the message
*list*
display pane_, which Mozilla can. MS OE can display those headers
for
individual messages.), though.
Not having checked out MS OE for a while, I was a bit confused
what is
possible and what is not. Anyway, my comment and michka's have
*nothing*
to do with MS bashing. I was just giving what I believed to be
facts,
one of which was not true as it turned out. Please, note that
Michael
(michka) Kaplan, I guess is, one of the last persons on this list
to say
something not true just to make MS look bad. Of course, by this
I'm not
implying by any means that there are some people who would do
that on
this list.
