Thank you Roger and Laurent. I did find files like that prior to sending the original note, but didn't know which was my target (though trial and error would have found it sooner or later). Strangely enough, my reason for using Entourage disappeared when my wife figured out her mistake (on the machine on which I had loaded the Japanese OSX for her) -- she had mis-written her friend's email address. I couldn't figure out why OSX's Mail wasn't sending out her email (after a couple hours of messing around, dl'ing Eudora [which I forgot does NOT do unicode], etc.), while she translated the error messages as best she could. Some of those translations were priceless! :) Additionally, Entourage magically decided to start working, independent of any monkey business on my part, JUST in time for me to not have to use it after all! WHew! Thanks again. -jra You can take the boy out of Green Bay, but you can't take the Green Bay out of the boy. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
