ENABLING THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
To configure the Internet Exchange Messaging Server's Japanese Language support, do the following:
- Configure the following fields:
- Disable Shift-JIS to JIS conversion in message headers
When enabled, 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.
- Scanning JIS characters in mail body
Enabling this option prompts the message text to be converted from 7-bit JIS to Shift-JIS before being exported to
cc:Mail. This option is set to enabled by default if the local character set is ISO-2022-JP. For other character sets,
this option is disabled.
- Repair damaged JIS characters in mail body
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.
- Repair damaged JIS characters in mail headers
When activated, 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.
- Replace non-Shift-JIS or half width Katakana option
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. Enter your preferred text (e.g. "invalid character mark") in the textbox provided for
this field.
- After configuring the different options, click the Submit button.
