i'm trying to figure out how to enter simplified characters online. i'm using OSX 10.2.8 on my mac and i switched to simp abc input, which works for msn, and it shows up when i'm typing it into my yahoo mail, but when i send it, it turns into question marks. e.g. ?????? ???? ??????? ?? . do i need a special program for doing online stuff?

谢谢。

I am not 100% sure, but I quit using my yahoo e-mail account because it would foul up any e-mail I sent in Chinese or Japanese. Perhaps they are not setup to use UTF-8? I can read e-mails I received by changing the character encoding, but I cannot send them. Unless you can change the settings for your account, I don't know what to say about it really.

Have you tried g-mail? You can set your default encoding, and it has a nice web interface as well as the ability to use desktop e-mail clients.
