Will WLM and Outlook allow me to SEND Russian messages, using the
Cyrillic alphabet...
Outlook lets one define the language of a selection, like any Office
application can do. In Outlook 2007, Message, Spelling, Set
Language... set the language of a selection to whichever language
you like. You can do this in the Subject: line also. If you want
proofing capabilities in that language, download an appropriate
Office Language Pack from the Office web site. If you write a lot
in Russian, you will want the Russian Language Pack anyway. You can
even change the menu language to Russian, if you like. You probably
want your readers to interpret your messages properly, so if you
send multi-language messages well then make sure they have a client
that can display them properly.
WLM is a little different, but experiment with the New Message,
Format, Encoding menu. Set the encoding to one of the Cyrillic
values. I don't know how it works, but since the menu item is
there, it must do something... Remember the beta nature of WLM.
Both in the Subject Line and in the body of the message?
I believe that if you set the encoding in WLM to a particular value,
all human readable headers are encoded in that character set, but
there may be bugs...
I have set the language of the Subject: line in Outlook, but because
I don't have a non-Latin alphabet input method or font installed, I
can't test it myself, to see if it actually formats the text as
Russian text, for example.
I can currently READ such messages but not SEND them.
How to do that, while not screwing up my English reading and
sending capabilities?
Language is Outlook is per selection. Character encoding in WLM is
per message. Using either one to format and send a message in
Russian "shouldn't" interfere with your ability to read and write
English.
Hope this helps.
