Speaking of which, the one area I'm seriously lagging behind in Unicode adoption is my email client. It can do WGL4, but I don't know whether it can do very much more than that. Certainly, trying to paste 16-bit characters produces a weird mish-mash of letters stripped of their accents and question marks. See also this: "éšzn??" ("e-acute, s-caron, z-acute, n-undercomma, IPA-script-a, greek-ksi") It frustrates me greatly. Does anyone know a Windows mail client that is HTML-safe and fully Unicode-aware, and particularly is not Outlook? Preferably, without sacrificing any of the functionality and ease-of-use of my current solution. Paul
