On this system, responding to the letter generates:
> From: "Richard ÄŒepas" <rch@richard.eu.org>
Michael Kaplan's response arrived as:
>> From: "Richard ÄOepas" <rch@richard.eu.org>
In the 'folder e-mail list window', the name appears as
'Richard Cepas'.
Perhaps the correct name is "Richard Čepas"?
When Αλέξανδρος Διαμαντίδης writes, the text of the e-mail
displays his name just fine, but it appears in the 'folder e-mail
list window' as a string of diacriticized vowels and in the
address book as '????a?d??? ??aµa?t?d??'
Same kind of thing happens with "てんどうりゅうじ" while in the case
of "Séamas Ó Brógáin" there doesn't seem to be a problem.
These automatic conversions performed by the system are
undesirable and unnecessary. Changing a "Č" into a "C" makes
the name wrong.
This system (Win M.E., M.S.O.E.) apparently uses Unicode as the
actual encoding of the name strings stored in the address book.
The application should be expected to convert incoming messages
from the old code pages into Unicode at the time the address is
added to the list. The display of addresses and lists of e-mail
messages should also use Unicode as default in order for everything
to display correctly.
For Richard's last name, what has been stored in the address book
(*.WAB) here is U+00C4, U+0152, U+0065, U+0070, U+0061, U+0073.
(It's stored in Little Endian.)
Best regards,
James Kass.
