Hi Jan,

I am sorry.  I don't understand what you mean by " With no word you
responded to my last comment."

And regarding:

... I replied on the bug tracking thread as you suggested.  I have copied
and pasted them below for you to see again.

Please try to log into Horde in Japanese, then try the 3 problems I
describe below:

1) Text encoding issues in the interface.
2) Subject line can't handle Japanese text when sent from the webmail
interface.
3) The left hand sidebar doesn't display anything when opened after
selecting Japanese for the interface language.

Thank you.

- Ned.

Hi again, Jan.

It seems like Horde's bug tracking system can't handle Japanese text,
either. (Refer to my previous post. All Japanese text is displayed
incorrectly.)

It is probably a good thing that I sent the same information by email to
you.

Here is another Japanese text test below:
