display other language in Outlook 2000 E-mail message pane

[Guest]

please advise how to set up Outlook 2000 to be able to display other
language in E-mail message pane. I have no problem to display the message
contents in other language but have problem to display the E-mail header in
message pane. Thanks!

What other languages? If it is a multibyte language such as Chinese or
Japanese, you need to set up Outlook 2003 (or 2007) in Unicode mode.

Thanks for the timely response. Yes, I want to display Chinese but
don't know how to set up unicode mode in my Outlook. Please advise again.
BTW, I'm using Outlook 2000, not 2003 or 2007. Thanks!

Here is how to configure Unicode options for Outlook 2003:

Outlook 2007:

Sorry, earlier versions of Outlook did not fully support multibyte
languages display.

Much thanks for the input. It seems that I need to upgrade Outlook
to a newer version.

You're welcome! I had for many years email headers (Subject, From)
displayed as garbage instead of Japanese, until I upgraded to 2003. But
since it is almost here, you may as well wait for 2007.
