ANNOUNCEMENT: Cyrillic Language Kit for Apple Macintosh!

[adassovsky]

>>   Due to that nasty parity bit (the 8th one, or the 7th one depending
>>on how you count it), your cyrillic items get chopped off (since ASCII,
>>which we use here, only needs 7 bits for the representation).  The
>>Cyrillic encoding needs all 8.  So, programs have been developed to
>>work around this, most notably "uuencode/decode" on the Unix platform.
>
>MIME has been also developed to handle this and the sending of other types
>of files via email.  Though not in universal use, it is gaining rapid
>acceptance.
>
>>There are versions for both the Macintosh and PC.
>>
>>To make life simple and easy, download an evaluation copy of Eudora
>>(available for both platforms - I highly recommend purchasing the
>>commercial version - the filtering capabilites alone are worth it).
>>Check the "settings" under the "special" menu - look for "attachments"
>>and set to "uuencode data fork".
>>(ftp.qualcomm.com)

>These settings are not available on the shareware versions for Windows; the
>only things under Special/Settings/Attachments are:
>Encoding method:
>        MIME
>        Binhex (in the form of radio buttons)
>and
>        Put text attachments in the body of the message (as a checkbox)
>
>and
>        a specification for a default directory for attachments to reside.

>>This is only good for attached documents, prepared in Word Perfect

Thank you for answering. I use Eudora light 1,53 with KOI8 on a Mac, and
that doesn't work.On "attachements" I may choose between "AppleDouble",
"AppleSingle" and "binhex".Do I have to buy Eudora pro ? And in this case,
will I be able to send mail to any recipient, Mac, Windows, and other mail
software (Compuserve).Fonts are not the problem, as everybody seems to have
KOI8.
Thanks again.
