IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Am trying to type in Mandarin Chinese Characters.
Used \”Text Services and Input Languages Services\” pop-up under \”settings\” of \”language bar\” to install.
Chinese PRC Handwriting Recognition and Keyboard (Microsoft IME 3.0) are installed and typing in Chinese is possible, however, when it is sent as an e-mail, no character encoding recognises the characters typed.
In the past this was not a problem when I had IME under Windows ME operating system.

It sounds like formatting problem in your email program. If you are sending in plain text or Rich Text, it’s unlikely the characters will translate properly.

The solution is to send the email in HTML format. If you are using Microsoft Outlook it’s important also to turn off using Word as an email editor. We’ve found Word has a habit of slowing Outlook and mangling emails in this sort of situation.
