Hello!

I am a Thai person. I used to use Mail for check emails. I can use Thai
language just fine but the problem with Mail is that I got a bunch of spam
each day. So I moved to use Entourage. I got all spam detected with
Entourage. The problem I have is that I can't read Thai emails. Any
suggestion to make Entourage read Thai? Thank you.

Is Thai a 'right to left' language? If so, Office 2004 doesn't support it,
sorry.

I think you should be able to - Entourage is fully Unicode, and it should
detect and display the correct character format on incoming mail. What
happens if you select such a message and go to Format menu/Character
Set/Unicode (UTF-8)? Any better? You obviously have the right fonts for
displaying Thai on your computer, if you can see it in Mail. Here's some
Thai characters:

In Preferences/Fonts/, set your Plain Text font to Lucida Grande. Does that
help?

My lil sister wants to switch to Mac after years and years of PC use. I am a
little hesitant about this, but both her best friend and her boyfriend have
a powerbook and she has fallen in love with that notebook, so what i have to
say will have little effect on her untimate decision. so i've spent the past
couple days feverishly reading up on the life of a mac user in a PC world.
(particularly is it possible for a mac to join a Microsoft Advance Server
Domain -- but thats a different post entirely)

so far all the basics are covered. except for multi-language support -- i
cannot find much information in this respect. unfortunately, she needs to
create and edit documents in the Greek language. Further more, some sort of
greek spell check option would be nice. on our windows PCs we were able to
copy the "Proof" folder of one PC that had greek proofing tools onto the
other PCs and all the mechines attained Greek proofing ability. i wonder if
it will be that easy w\ her Mac. also wonder if i can copy the contents of
my XP based proof folder into a similar folder on her mac and attain the
same results.

thanks in advance for taking the time to reply.

Best regards,
CMM.

I just moved back to Mail again. Thanks for all responds. I just found a
perfect rule to detect spam on Mail. So Good Bye Entourage.
