Q: Can Indy send and receive Japanese emails in Win2k?

[mj.d...@ukonline.co.uk]

I am trying to create a web email application to link to my home email
server. I am using .NET 2003 (C#) and Indy.Sockets v10.1.1 on a Win2k
platform. My Japanese wife will also use the app and so it needs to be
able to send/receive messages with Unicode body.

I have got Indy working with English text ok, but am having problems
with getting it to work with Unicode. The Indy.Sockets.Text.Body.Text
property does not appear to return the data (Japanese characters)
correctly (i.e. Unicode), although Outlook 2000 does. (NB The
aforementioned 'Indy.Sockets.Text' class is the .NET class name for
VCL's TIdText class.)

I'd be happy to elaborate the problem but first I was hoping for
feasibility verification. Is the following quote true? And if so, when
(if planned) will Indy be able to handle Unicode in Win32?

"...Indy doesn't support [Unicode] under Win32 so there would be data
loss for any non-Ascii strings." Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Oct 27 2005,

Many thanks in advance.
