Your guess is correct, as I tried this before posting my message.

And a little bit more. :-) However, they are not displayed in Chinese on my machine, because I have tweaked the registry to display European characters when high ASCII characters encountered. My choise is to either display Chinese correctly or German - and I chose German. So, the Chinese characters in the message list are translated into whatever character there is at that place in the Western European character set. And that makes it unintelligible. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
