Hello, everyone.
I am evaluating The Bat! 3.0 as a more powerful, more secure replacement for Outlook XP/2002 (under Windows XP Professional, SP 1).
Because I send e-mail messages containing Russian/Cyrillic text, any e-mail client upon which I decide must support Cyrillic text.
Although I realize that The Bat! does not yet offer Unicode support, I have been able to get it to handle Russian text satisfactorily by setting the default character set for my messages to KOI8-R.
My problem comes with my signature file, which is a few lines of Pushkin, in Russian. I have the signature file saved as a separate Unicode/Cyrillic text file, but when The Bat! imports the file, the result is "gibberish" characters that are not Russian at all.
I am using the following "cookie" setup in my preferences for the account I am using for testing, inserting a newline character (\n) at the end of each line, as instructed by the on-line help, %COOKIE="C:\pushkin-signature-unicode-koi8-r.txt".
Should I assume that the problem lies with the fact that The Bat! 3.0 does not offer full Unicode support, and give up on this approach?
I can take the text from the same Unicode/Cyrillic file and manually paste it into an e-mail message, which seems to work just fine.
Thank you very much, in advance, for any ideas or suggestions!
Cordially,
