Talk:Unicode and email
Web-based email
Does anyone know about Unicode support in various webbased email services? I know that GMail is UTF-8 by default (hail hail the GMail!) and Yahoo and Hotmail are crappy (the last time tried).
Plus - personal rant:
This rant doesn't have much to do with the article, but i totally, totally love Unicode and i send all my email with it and everyone should do like me. Just set up your mailer to send Unicode by default (btw, it's the default in GMail). Be active, set up an example - tell all your friends. Especially those who are not too knowledgeable with computers - i've done this to some of my friends in their Outlook Express's and no-one has complained yet. If everyone does it, it will become viral and eventually everyone will adopt it. Unicode is just right.
That's it, i should stop wasting precious storage space right now.--Amir E. Aharoni 18:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
