SYMPTOMS
When you use double-byte character set (DBCS) encoding in Microsoft Windows Mail, the text may be unreadable when you switch to Source view.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a problem with the RichEdit 4.1 control.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the encoding scheme to UTF-8 before you switch to Source view. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Windows Mail.
 * 2) Click Create Mail, and then type any text for the body of the message.
 * 3) In the Format menu, point to Encoding, point to More, and then click Unicode (UTF-8).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
