Eudora folks still ignoring non-ASCII character encoding


What a big disapointment. The newest version of Eudora still lacks the very basic feature -- character encoding. As if the Eudora team did not live on this planet, and did not realize that even people communicating in English may occasionally need non-ASCII characters. All versions of Eudora only allow ISO-8859-1 and WIN1250 encoding/decoding. No other encoding, not even the Unicode/UTF. It is unbelievable as they claim themselves leaders in email/client software and such pivotal functionality is still not there. I can't think of any other client not having this functionality. Sure, you can rely on third party plug-ins, but they may succeed to decode the message body at best. The header remains scrabled.

Verdict

Power users looking for an email solution that can also help to cut spam should consider Eudora 6.1. However, competitors such as Notes and Outlook offer cleaner interfaces and more intuitive processes for managing email.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
