Re: garbled asian text

I tried activating the hotfix #3 from the link Robear provided. To no
effect at my system here, but it won't do any damage if you try it
yourself. Not sure about the registry keys mentioned there, since no
"Outlook Express" key existed in the "Policies" branch at my machine.

[Roland refers to Symptom/Resolution 3 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887797.]

WinXP Home Edition (HE), Roland? HE does not have that key and I've been after the OE Team to have this inconsistency documented in the KB article for several months now.

For Cyrillic-related problems in OE, see Paul Gorodyanksy's exellent page http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/oe_e.htm.

The header "Content-Transfer-Encoding" is missing, but this doesn't
seem to matter. The encoding of the From header is correct, as far as
I can see. Indeed it is displayed as expected in the preview pane and
the message view, but not in the message list.

Unfortunately, I am afraid, this is a bug in OE, known to me at least
with Cyrillic (Russian) messages. Somehow the decoding of the non-ascii
characters works different in the message list.

Sorry for not beeing able to help you further.
