 Is
Multilingual e-mail the only one advantage of Magellan? |
Anyway, download and try Magellan
for yourself. Magellan's greatest advantage is its speed and
lightness.
|
| Is any monolingual correspondence
possible with Magellan? |
Yes. As e-mail body keeps language
attribute on Magellan, you can reuse message as text directly.
You can e-mail almost all languages available on the Macintosh.
Following is the list of correspondence languages.
|
| Why did French characters
change to garbage? |
If receiver's e-mail software
does not support Latin-1, he cannot see French message correctly.
Confirm receiver's setting.
Any change of setting is unnecessary on Magellan to read
French message correctly.
Concretely, French is not indicated correctly with Japanese version
of Eudora Pro.
|
| Can I send multilingual e-mail
to Windows user? |
Yes, you can.
You have only to send message by Unicode to Windows user.
Outlook Express or Netscape Communicator can show your multilingual
message sent by Magellan.
|
| Can I receive multilingual
message from Windows user? |
Yes. Any change of setting is
unnecessary on Magellan to receive multilingual message from
Windows.
However, as it is always Unicode, you cannot reuse or edit message
on other application as text.
|
| As for multilingual e-mail,
what is the difference between Outlook Express? |
Magellan can send not only by
Unicode but MultiScript.
It is true that you can see Multilingual message by Unicode
but text cannot be reused or edited. MultiScript allows multilingual
e-mail to keep language attribute. You can edit text on other
program.
Is Unicode always the better way for multilingual e-mail. The
answer is NO.
|
| What is MultiScript |
Nowadays various languages are
available on e-mail. But each language is sent or received keeping
different rules and it causes various problems in multilingual
e-mail. Magellan's MultiScript is the way of coexistence of language
rules.
|
| Is Magellan possible to add
encoding as other e-mail client fro Windows? |
The e-mail client means Becky!.
Because language attribute is scarce concept on Windows platform,
language and way how e-mail client handles it is hardly known.
It is true that encode customizing is convenient way on Windows
but users may make mistake when customizing. Any user can send
such e-mail that are out of rule. On the Macintosh platform,
each language works under the control of WorldScript. Special
knowledge, setting of e-mail client or addition of encoding is
unnecessary for users, because Magellan have already known almost
all encoding.
|
| Is
Thai available on Magellan? |
You can use Thai e-mail on Magellan
under certain conditions. Standard Thai of Mac-Thai is not available
on Windows platform. You can send Thai e-mail to the computer
which can indicate Mac-Thai encoding. Other following 17 languages
are available as Thai. E-mail in these languages cannot be send
to Windows. Confer following paragraph, list of available Macintosh-local
languages.
|
| What
can Text Clip do? |
Text Clip can store any text such
as common phrases, greetings, and signatures. It helps you to
compose message quickly and easily. You can register general
greeting in the Head Clips, signatures in the Foot Clips. To
use Text Clip, just click-hold the icon at the bottom of the
new mail window and name of each Text Clip will be shown on the
Pop-up menu. When you select any of Text Clip, stored text will
stamped in the message. There is TextClip folder in the Magellan
folder. You can also edit Text Clip by Simple Text, because Text
Clip is Simple Text file. Head Clip is for greetings or phrases
put at the top of e-mail. Foot Clip is convenient as signature.

| How
much is Magellan pricing? |
Magellan
single user licensing US$ 50
For Multi user or licence, contact MAKI directly.
|
| What
is the concept of View ? |
Many e-mail client shows list
of received or sent e-mail using necessary filtering technique.
Magellan think e-mail as a personal data-base and to show only
necessary data from the beginning is more efficient way than
to filter e-mail out or move them to each folders. You can make
many Views without limitation. E-mail can be overlapped in the
different Views.
Example how View works is following. View of received message
within one week which includes the word Macintosh will list up
automatically latest e-mail that match to the conditions.
|

does Magellan print out e-mail? |

corresponding languages in the Preference window. Print format
is fixed. Title, page number, sender/receiver and date is printed
as header.
