tlug: Re: pine, mutt, Chinese, Japanese

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

Many thanks to Mssrs. Walters and Bolzer. 
I found the patch and, after 
communicating with Kikutani, learned that 
one of the patches would probably make 
Japanese work but knock out the Chinese 
support (by forcing EUC display). 
Another patch was recommended but this 
one resulted in pretty much the same 
result as unpatched Mutt, i.e. Chinese 
displays fine but Japanese not at all. 

Looks like I'll be sticking with pine 
for a while longer :) 

Setting Unicode aside for the moment, 
is there any _single_ Japanese encoding 
that has been suggested to take the 
place of euc, jis and sjis?
Seems like a needless hassle having 
to convert between two or three and 
make sure that software can display all 
of the three.
