zw> I think I will sent English email, mew gave me an iso-2022-jp-2, I guess there are at least two encoding codes in your message. Mew1.94.2 will encode this kind of message by iso-2022-jp-2 (Multilingual Extension of iso-2022-jp). In a alpha version the policy was changed and utf-8 is employed. You had better upgrade it to a alpha version. Good luck Wen
