Displaying Chinese subject/sender in Eudora Thread poster: Terry Thatcher Waltz, Ph.D.

Hello all,
I'm setting up a new computer system with English Windows XP Professional and Eudora. I can read e-mail body text in Chinese, but the headers show up as garbage characters after the coding specifyer. I'm sure it's a button or a checkbox somewhere, but does anyone know how to make it show the headers in Chinese? (I think I was having the same problem in Outlook, too.) My regional settings are set to Taiwan.

Hi Terry,
I happened to have my new computer system set up yesterday. I'd like to share my successful experience with you. To get everything done smoothly, please go to

I had already done all those things. I can input Chinese, read Chinese web pages, but cannot see Chinese characters ONLY in the headers of e-mails, either in Eudora or Outlook. I CAN read Chinese in the body of an e-mail.
Does anybody know what I'm missing?

Hi Terry,
I have Win XP in French version and I have the same problem. Only when I switch on the NJStar Communicator for Chinese Input, I can read Chinese characters in the headers of OutLook Express. I leave it like this. But you can try with your Chinese Input software.
I have never tried Eudora.
Bonne chance !

Tres bizarre....but I'll give it a try. It's annoying because I get a lot of spam from Taiwan, but also a lot of good mail, and it's hard to tell the difference if you can't read the header. (Of course, I should read it all, just to improve my 'exaggerated language' in Chinese...)

I can´t see Chinese characters in the menu and list of dictionaries available in ¨Dr. Eye" now, either; and I could on my old system, which was also English Windows XP. So it's got to be a switch or checkbox somewhere....

Hi Terry and Chance,
Just try using the following tips which I believe are useful:
---> Go to "tools"(after you open your "outlook")--> Click "Read"
--->Click "fonts"--->Select "Chinese Traditional"---->Click "Set as Default"
--->Click "OK"--->Click "OK" once more
--->Close "Outlook"----> open "Outlook" again---->Now you will be able to view traditional Chinese characters in the headers.

No go...I had already done that too.
I finally got it last night: there is a setting in Regional and Language options called "Advanced" andtheres a checkbox about running non-Unicode programs in another language. Unfortunately you can only pick one of them! Also there are a bunch of checkboxes below that and I selected every one that even vaguely had to do with Chinese. I can see headers now, and I can see the menu text in my Chinese dictionary program as well.

I'm not saying I want to set up a new computer every month or so, but you sure do forget when you go so long between doing it! ▲ Collapse

I did it as you said and it works well for the headers now. But I will change it back into "Set Europe Occidental as Default", because I have more French Emails than Chinese ones. Anyway, it is better to know it and to be able to choose when I need. Thank you very much, Betty !
