Or not, since I don't have any chance of reading Japanese even if the
characters "look right"...

I was in Paris once, and using a French keyboard didn't improve my
French either. :-)

I could switch to a "real" mail client instead of the webhost supplied
SquirrelMail, I suppose...

Last time I tried to do that, the Linux mail client "ate" a bunch of
my email and really messed things up badly.  I think it was KMail...

Other times I found the sync time of an IMAP mail client to be rather
abysmal compared to the web-based eamil...

Maybe I just store too much old email or something, but I'm not seeing
much reason to switch, since neither of the two renderings were
readable.

It was only interesting that it "switched" in read mode and compose
mode is all.

PS I suspect a newer squirrelMail would handle Unicode just fine, and
I'm sure my webhost will upgrade long before I need them to.

Or I can install a new squirrelMail in my own server and run whatever
version I want, if I go learn Japanese first...
