[KS] TECHNICAL note

[Frank Hoffmann]

Dear All:

Ok, understood. Let's fish or cut bait. Anyone having problems 
READING Asian characters in messages received from the list, please 
be so kind to send me a message to me directly at
   hoffmann at koreaweb.ws
(NOT to the entire list) with the answers to the following questions 
-- and then let's get this solved.

1. Are you getting messages one by one or in "digest" format?
2. Which PC pr Mac operating system do you use? (e.g. Windows 7, MacOSX)
3. What email application do you use to READ your mail (e.g. Outlook 
Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, EudoraOSE, a Web browser)?
4. Which is the font you have set as 'default font' in the 
application you use to read emails (e.g. Times, Arial, or a Korean 
font)?


Thanks.

Frank
