Hi Axel,

Out of curiosity: why not just use UTF-8 and be done with it?
Because UTF-8 encoded email is not that widespread in Japan yet, so it
is always safer to use ISO-2022-JP. If I am not mistaken,
In conclusion: if moving the drop-down menu out of sight solves some
sort of problem, then I suppose the user could live with the move at
the
cost of some extra inconvenience. But if it's just being moved for
cosmetic reasons, then I would be for keeping the menu where it is.
It's a bit of both - the "from" field is usually not visible completely
because of the encoding menu. And since the encoding/decoding isn't
really that useful for the general user, it would be a good candidate
to make more room for the "from" field which everyone uses.
Ah, I see. Yes, it can be kind of visually awkward in some situations.
Besides that, it could always be made an option, too, if enough
interest is there.
Hmmm... I am thinking that having an option that modifies the interface
would add complexity to documenting the application. Being that the
change would result in a relatively minor inconvenience to a relatively
small group of users, and in the spirit of keeping things simple, I put
my vote to moving the encoding selection to a menu as suggested by
Humdinger. I suppose the Message menu would be the logical place for this?
Cheers,
