Any Webmail service handling Japanese?
Hello, I wonder if anyone made positive experience with webmail accounts displaying Japanese correctly under Netscape, Mozilla, or Konqueror. I used gmx.de so far, but I could only read Japanese after copying the displaying html to disk and manually remove the coding information. I asked gmx, but they will not correct this. Moreover, they suddenly started bothering their clients with erotic advertizements on the mail rendering pages. I tried others: Netscape webmail reciently changed to ASCII only mode, eating away anything else, i.e. forget it. They did not resond to my inquiry if their service is now for monolingual Americans only. Web.de just displays ISO-2022 code as ASCII, no matter which language setting is used in the browser. You can at least forward the mail to some other and hope to get something legible. I sent an inquiry, but no response. Yahoo.de, obviously using German default settings was the same as web.de. Finally, under yahoo.com, somwhere selecting Japan as country, I get English menues (not what I wanted), but with netscape 4.7 the Japanese text is legible in Linux. Mozilla and Konqueror failed, regardless of character code setting (ISO-2022 is the correct one). So I changed my subscriber addres to thomaspiekenbrock@yahoo.com If anyone made better experience with other free webmail providers, I would be happy to know. My first preference would be a German provider, but as long as it works with Japanese and Chinese, I am not so picky. Please do not mention hotmail. We all know who owns that. One more question: Occasionally I find that certain Japanese webpages are correctly displayed in Netscape, but messed up in Konqueror. The cause may be either a Konqueror problem, or a higher level of error friendliness when displaying html pages with mistakes in their html tags. Where should I report such findings?
