Why the CJK characters in some emails transferred from Palm Desktop will be messy, A bug for CJKOS?
Generally, E-Mail application running on Desktop can support many format standards (i.e. uuencode, MIME, text, HTML, HZ, etc.). After a mail file is filtered by a specific mailing application, CJK characters in the mail file should have been changed so much, that only those applications supporting the same format standard could make those characters readable again. The mailing application on Palm is just a simple one in the term of functions. Therefore, when it meets a mail with an unknown format standard, it will treat the mail in a common format. That is why it makes some CJK characters unreadable in some mail files. As a suggestion, you’d better try to apply common format rather than some special ones(i.e. MIME, HTML, HZ, etc.). Besides that, users can try to find other ways to avoid such troubles in your application. CJKOS only supports to display CJK characters without any transformation on any mails, so it couldn’t be the reason why causes E-Mail messy.
