My Windows behaves differently; that's not because it's a Win98, but
because it's C-Win, and Chinese uses a different system. Actually,
this is true for CJK: Chinese-Japanese-Korean, which have more than
256 letters/characters and thus are encoded as double-bytes. On my
display, characters with ASCII codes higher than xx will always be
understood as the first byte of a Chinese character. That's another
reason why I want to change to Thai-Win. ;-)

TB will automatically use the encoding in which the original mail was
written, which is a good feature. However, C-Win overrides this. I
have discussed this with the developers already.
