If the character set is Japanese
(Auto-select), most Japanese part is shown correctly, and Latin
part is illegible.

If the character set is ISO-8859-1, only Latin characters are
shown correctly.

Outlook Express cannot show MultiScript perfectly. (There
are differences in the ability of indication of Multilingual
message according to the versions.)
Notice: Repeated change of character set causes that Japanese
cannot be indicated correctly on some version of Outlook Express. |

Received message by Netscape Communicator |

If the character set is Japanese
(Auto-select), Japanese are shown correctly and Latin characters
part will be illegible.

If the character set is iso-8859-1, Latin characters part will
be shown correctly but the Japanese part will be illegible.

As the above description, lingual attribute will not be lost
in MultiScript and some times it is more profitable in
reuse of text data than sending by Unicode.

Sending single
language from Magellan to other e-mail client. |
|
To Outlook Express or Netscape
Communicator, there is no problem and no special attentions must
be payed in use of language. To other e-mail client software
that user can set appropriate encoding and decoding, you can
send correctly from Magellan. Normally, it is probable that the
localized system is installed on the local user's computer. You
only have to use the receiver's local language. |

message from Magellan to other e-mail client. |
|
Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator
can receive any monolingual message correctly. Other e-mail client
which is able to set encoding and decoding corresponding language
also receive any monolingual message correctly. Because receiver's
lingual environment is probably same as of one's place of residence,
you can send or receive message without other special consideration.

Sending multilingual
message by Magellan (Unicode) |
|
E-mail client supports Unicode, such as
Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator, can receive message
sent by Unicode correctly. |
|
|
|
Why other e-mail
client is "Outlook Express" or "Netscape Communicator"? |
|
Because Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator
can switch encoding / decoding automatically. It is true that
other e-mail clients can switch encoding and decoding but positive
switching is impossible in most case. |
|
|
|
Isn't Magellan
compatible with other e-mail client? |
|
Before talking about compatibility, it
is fact that any other e-mail clients were impossible to send
multilingual message.
Magellan is first e-mail client that enabled multilingual
e-mail correspondence in the world. |
|
|
|
What are the
differences between multilingual e-mail client and multilingual
word processor? |
|
They are based on quite different technology.
Word processor works on some technologies of WorldScript, TextEdit
and Font manager or their combination. These are depends on the
computer or operating system, only effective on the Macintosh.
However, e-mail is necessary to be highly compatible with other
operating system or ISO standardization of each languages. In
other words, sufficient condition of word processor is only on
its operating system, but e-mail have to be acceptable even on
other computers. |
