Meaning you can read and write French and Japanese in one and the same
message, and when you reply it doesn't make entire lines disappear from
the quoted section? 

Godwin, that's great news, but I'll definitely need help with the
installation. From what everyone on the sylpheed ML said I gathered that
0.8.9 was already supposed to support UTF-8, but I never managed to get
it to work. Do I need to run sylpheed in a special locale, or use
specific compile time options? What fonts are you using? How do you even
manage to keep font settings in sylpheedrc? Mine are being overridden
every time I launch sylpheed...

I'd be really glad if this worked out!
