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.
