I'm sorry, what do you mean? I do not see anything like 'preformat'
anywhere? I saw 'translate' once in the 'browser mode'. I have played with
translation in Eudora to read Tamil (why the hell, I was born as a Tamil
instead of an English man :-(

I sent them a mail as well. A great disaapointment. Kill Bill Gates :-))
You know one thing! before we figure out how to read and write Tamil
in NS 6.2, TSCII new version will come out with the 'i' bug fixed and
MS Outlook Express may become default mailer to Tamil :-(((((
Kannan
ps: Why not the imported 'address book list' in NS Communicator 4.78
does not
stay after a session (it vanishes in thin air to be imported again). I
am sure I owe you
a consultation fee !!
????????, ????????
(this is iraciththeen in Tamil, two times)
