For none English speaking users, especially multi-byte character set users
If you are Plaxo user using multi-byte character set (MBCS) encoding locally, this may help you. (Some example of MBCS -- Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and so on.)
As you know, Plaxo is MBCS transparent by itseelf, but when it comes to the point of sending "update contact" e-mails to your friends, it sometimes confuses your friends mail clients, that can result in garbled characters.
TIP:
Though you can type in MBCS characers in the subject field in contact upgrade wizard, DO NOT do so. You would like to use English alphabets only that help your friends client refrain from getting confused.
WHY?:
(I do not exactly why, but my friend told me that Subject: header is sometimes used to judge what code to use, but there are e-mail servers that does not 8 bit encoding in the subject header field, which result in unknown language for mail clients)
How did I find it?
I have a close friend who told me the mail was garbled. When I changed the subject to English, it went out OK.
Hope it helps,
Hisao
