Cannot read text of incoming email or attachments sometimes if it is in simplified Chinese characters. Only some funny Chinese like characters show. Is there any free download software available that could help? If not, anything that could help me out at a cost?
Some mail programs do not handle unicode or Asian characters (such as Eudora).
If you have a problem with Yahoo mail, then most probably it is the setting of the computer.
If you work perfectly with Yahoo mail (in Chinese characters), then look for an alternative mail program.
