Thank you for calling the problem below to my attention. I am unclear at
the moment whether this is a genuine problem with Netscape 4 (i.e. one
we cannot fix quickly) or whether it's just a bad default setting. I
will look into this immediately.
In the meantime, please note that you can continue to run the old
version of Netscape from the infoagents locker by using the command
'netscape-3.01'.

> I am using mule to type Japanese character with Netscape Mail in Netscape 3. I cannot input Japanese character directly in the Compose window. Therefore, to quote original Japanese character, I click [Reply] to obtain a Compose window first. In the window, the Japanese charactor are not displayed correctly. But when I copy it to the mule window, it can be displayed correctly. Then I add and make my message.
