Quite interesting. I always have automatic selected, but this somehow didn't
work for this particular problem. Only selecting Japanese(auto-select)
helped here.

You may be right, that you are not able to select the character set due to
your custom installation. You may however still be able to read the text if
you look at the source of the email.

As the Danish Dock-installation in Jaguar failed (wrong encoding of the
DockMenus.plist-file in the original install, btw ;-)), I got a little
experience in installing using the Pacifist, which is basically like the
Tome-Viewer for OS9. You can find it at versiontracker.com. It's a great
piece of shareware, but it is rather low-level, so it is not recommended for
the unexperienced user.

Cheers,
