I occasionally receive e-mail in Korean that is broken. I know this is an on going issue with Unicode and foreign character under Mac OS X or WinXIp.. both OS not too smart yet.

Have you gone to Message > Text Encoding and tried switching to UTF-8 or one of the several Korean encodings (euc, iso, windows) on that list?

Is this it (euc)?

Is there any settings within Mail to do this??


The only settings are the ones I mentioned: Mail > Message > Text Encoding

If you tried all the Korean items on the encoding list and nothing happened, I don't think there is anything you can do within Mail. The reason this happens is probably because the person sending the email is using the wrong encoding. You can see what that is by doing View > Message > Raw Source and looking for the Charset= statement in the Content-Type header.

The charset "ks c5601-1987" is Microsoft's extension to the more widely accepted "EUC-KR" charset. "ks c5601-1987" is Microsoft's naming scheme and it known as "CP949" or "UHC" (Unified Hangul Code) by other vendors. Since your source output is missing the x-mailer header, we cannot tell what software your friend is using, but it is probably an older version of MS Outlook or something.

The language settings in Safari.app and Mail.app are completely separate. Do not confuse them with each other. Also, the webmail provider (Hotmail, Gmail) can force a charset on messages more dynamically than you can.

Is there any solution.


Ask the user to send 4 test messages to you. Before he types the message, he should go to View > Text Encoding in his browser and select Korean ISO-2022-KR for the first one. For the other ones he should select Unicode UTF-8, Korean Mac OS, and Korean Windows. One of them hopefully will arrive correctly at your end (although hotmail is such garbage there is no guarantee:-)

Hotmail's language conversion is very poor. I have had experience where I could not receive Japanese messages on Hotmail if the sender used Japanese Hotmail and I was using English Hotmail. I also could not send Japanese messages from English Hotmail, even though my Mac could type in Japanese and the Japanese characters showed up correctly in the message creation screen. Once it was sent, the recipient would receive the message in 8-bit ISO-8859, so they could not read it even though they used Japanese Hotmail.

My solution was to stop using Hotmail. I know, it's not a solution at all.
