 It has been set to LAN or manual connection all along, just as I do
 with the other half dozen programs I use. This is the first time I've
 had such a problem. I wonder if it's something in the 1.41 beta
 version I'm using?

   The problem with Japanese is that there are several different
   encoding schemes, so you need a mechanism for detecting them, and
   also for inserting the right char set when you send. Then you need
   an editor that can properly handle the "kinsoku shori" editing
   rules. Unicode isn't practical yet for Japanese because nearly
   everyone uses iso-2022-jp, not UTF.

   Anyway, EdMax and Datula work great with Japanese. I am using The
   Bat because it's an interesting program, not because it's the most
   practical for my real needs.

   Still haven't solved the message checking problem, though.

Agreed. I also enjoyed the rest of your Web site; it made me very
envious.

By the way, where did the "wonmug" come from?

Or have you tried it with third-party display software, such as NJStar
or UnionWay? I've done my testing mostly with Korean, but I'm pretty
sure I saw it working with Japanese and Chinese at one point.

The Bat still has definitely problems with CJK. For example, you can't
change the font, and the headers are mangled, but viewing seems to
work.

Unicode will make it possible to communicate in CJK IF your
correspondents are using Unicode and it's supported by your OS

I hope the developers will also support the older encodings in version
2.
