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.
