Daryl,
The help file says you can set the high character set for inbound and outbound
character sets.
The dropdown choices in the settings gives you the option of chinese, japanese,
korean, and an enourmous list of other languages.
I don't have any foreign language mails to prove it but from the help it would
seem to do what you want.

Regards,
Michael

Voytek,
The patch is
patchldr.zip
fixes the OS/2 >64MeB memory detection defect found with recent BIOSes
(improved)

You don't need it with eCS, but I needed it with Warp 4.

It fixes the handling of BIOS call 15 which some mobo manufacturers made to be
non compliant.

Anyway patchldr is on Hobbes in the patches section and it has a test program
with it. (As with all Daniela's stuff there's a good readme in the zip file)

The difference it made with my warp 4 was to use all 128 Meg instead of just 64.

Regards,
Michael
