Outlook Express: if click on International settings PA Bear you get a list
from arabic to vietnamese to choose. If you click on one the box says:
default setting for outgoing messages. This lead me to believe it translates
your message to whatever is highlighted. Explain further what it does please.

No, it does not translate English into Cyrillic, Charlie. (Cyrillic is not

What led you to understand that Cyrillic encoding would translate English
into your friend's native language?

OE Help "Read and send international messages".

Can you read and write in your friend's language? If so, see Paul

I have a friend in eastern europe and their english is elementary. To help
them I wanted to send the english e-mail so it can be read in Cyrillic. As
Dr. International mentioned. I went to Outlook Express
...Tools...Options...International settings...and clicked on the Cyrillac
option.

My question, what does this actually do? As I understand, it translates my
english version to russian when the e-mail is sent to europe. Is this
correct?

Any help would be appreciated. Charlie
