ENABLING THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
To configure the Internet Exchange Messaging Server's Japanese Language support, do the following procedure:

  1. Enable the Disable Shift-JIS to JIS conversion in message headers option. The conversion between Shift-JIS and ISO-2022-JP affects message headers. Should this cause problems, it is possible to disable the bi-directional conversion between 8-bit JIS and 7-bit JIS character sets in message headers by activating this option. The conversion then takes place by default.
  2. Enable the Scanning JIS characters in mail body option. Enabling this option prompts the message text to be converted from 7-bit JIS to Shift-JIS before being exported to cc:Mail. The default is enabled if the local character set is ISO-2022-JP. For other character sets, this option is disabled.
  3. Enable the Repair damaged JIS characters in mail body option. If this option is enabled, CCIN attempts to recover JIS messages without ESC characters (ESC, ASCII code 27- some mail transport agents filter them out). This feature uses heuristic criteria, and might produce incorrect results in certain cases. The default is enabled if the local character set is ISO-2022-JP.
  4. Activate the Repair damaged JIS characters in mail headers option. If the escape characters in a message have been removed by other mail routers or MTAs, CCIN can attempt a recovery of JIS characters without ESC characters. By default, the automatic recovery of ISO-2022-JP escape sequences lacking the ESC characters will not be attempted.
  5. Enter your preferred text for the Replace non-Shift-JIS or half width Katakana option (e.g. "invalid character mark"). This field defines a string to replace any non Shift-JIS or half-width Katakana characters that the connector fails to identify during outbound message conversions. If the field is left empty, the gateway copies the original message content to the outbound message.
  6. After configuring the different options, click the Submit button.
