I really, really, really hope vista will fix this! I am so annoyed! Every time i send a message to my family in Russian i get a reply back that I used the wrong encoding… THAT I USED THE WRONG ENCODING. What they should ask themselves or better yet Billy “Bad Boy” Gates is why outlook express doesn’t default to UTF-8. An even better question would be why for cyrillics it doesn’t default to KOI-8, the standard for Russian cyrillics.
But I guess this is all too much for the 4 color mosaic… This is similar to IE not supporting newer css formats (although safari doesn’t do it perfectly either). But still of all things that are important to day to day life it is definitely email. I’m just shocked that and upset that this hold true and i have to retype reforward my emails. I really hope UTF-8 will become the standard on windows too someday and i think it will as UTF-8 is definitely much more widespread mobile phones etc.
Hmm that probably means if i told my family to check their email with their phones it would work… as opposed to windows…
