[X-Apps] Mail in Foreign Language

[Akravudh Osathanukrah]

The exact same situation happens with email messages in Thai language. 
I believe the reason is that there is no standard on the internet for 
Thai language encoding. There exists only sub-standard - Thai DOS (for 
PC) and Mac Thai (for Macintosh).

I can read email messages written in Thai which are sent from Windows 
PC by selecting Thai DOS in the Text Encodings of the Format menu in 
the Mail Application. But, Windows users cannot decode Thai language 
email sent from Mac users.

I'm not sure whether this explanation can apply to the encoding of 
Korean language on the internet. But, I thought I share my experiences.

Cheers,
