i'm using a mac email client and trying to send unicode thai to hotmails accounts but hotmail is clearly reducing the data resolution to 8bit and destroying the text. So no way around that.

What is the modern solution for this? i mean how do those of using unicode work with say the hotmail community? this must be affecting millions of people i'm sure there is a solution, i just can't seem to find it. So far I can at least map the 8 bit encoding to a thai font but how do they see my text? thanks for your ideas.

guess you are using apple's 'mail' software.

you can format your emails as thai for windows. after that, you can read any thai mail. and any windoze user can read your thai mails.

after having opened a received or a new email, just go to the pull down menu called 'email'. being german, i only know german words in there, but there should be something like 'text encoding' at the very end. go there. a new window will open. right in the middle is 'thai for windows'. change to that one - there you go.

if it should NOT be there, you need to define thai as a system language of your mac first. refer to mac help how to proceed. just a few tweeks.
