Dear All, My opinion is to reopen [EMAIL PROTECTED] to use utf8 or to open another mailing list, named as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [email protected] for their local users. Then use traditional chinese in [email protected] and use simplified chinese in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use both of traditional and simplified chinese in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
