Support for display of Japanese AND the correct mapping tables. I am
constantly annoyed with mail clients and browsers that support
various combinations of JIS, Shift-JIS, EUC-JP, but no ISO-2022-JP. I
have been getting mail in ISO-2022-JP lately, and reading it in my
present situation requires transferring it to a word processor on a
different operating system. Unless you know of another mapping table
I can plug into Eudora?
