When answering a mail in a language one is not fluent in, it is
convenient to display the received mail in konqueror with a split window
(window/Split view Left/Right).. The left portion contains the text
wrapped to fit window width. and the right portion a hopefully not too
large dictionary refering to unknown words of the received mail. Those
words had to be looked up anyway when reading the mail in the first
place. If one has already a poor short term memory like myself it is
advisable to generate while reading- in case of Japanese  with Gijten- a
dictionary file .In principle there are two ways to do this with
Mozilla- mail: One uses the mail parh with "Edit draft" and for the
other one first saves the mail file, opens with Mozilla and works with
the composer, using "Edit page".

This all worked fine with LINUX 9.0,  but does not work with LINUX 9.3,
using exactly the same procedure and trying various others.
If one cannot just scroll the text in the smaller split window, i.e. if
it is not automatically wrapped  when openend with the konqueror the
advantage of this procedure is partially lost.

Many weird things happen: konqueror cannot open a *.eml file, If the
recieved mail was utf-8 coded one ends up with an unstructured *.asc
file, which is however structured when opened with kwrite, iso-2022-JP
coded files from different senders behave differently, even if with
"View/Character Encoding/Customize the code is adapted to utf-8......

Unfortunately, to my best knowledge kmail does not allow one to  apply a
similar  procedure .

Any help of somebody who can look deeper into the respective codes would
be highly appreciated, on request I would of course outline in detail
what I have tried.
Thank you in advance
W.L. Engl
