This will work perfectly well, USE="cjk" or not. Scott's usual wrapper
script approach (check the Computertaijutsu pages if you don't know what
I'm talkin about) works with Sylpheed, too, no need to bend over
backwards. The real question is: How do I get Sylpheed to display
anything BUT Japanese once I've started it this way? In spite of
Sylpheed 0.8.9 being released with UTF-8 support, Godwin already
complained about not getting it to work a couple of days ago, and I
haven't figured it out yet, either. If anybody could help with THAT, I'd
be extremely grateful.
