I am having a rather complicating problem here. First, I had done the
procedure as described at Http://greggman.com/japan/xp-ime/xp-ime.htm,
except that I chose the display non-unicode items in Chinese instead of
Japanese.

It appeared to be working fine until I tried to send emails with Outlook
2003 (sp2). In Outlook, I've already set the encoding options to use
Japanese (Shift-JIS). And when I type words in Hiragana, it displayed
correctly even after I convert them into Kanji. For example, I typed $B$*$O$h$&!!(B(ohayou), then press space to convert it into $B$*Aa$&(B. That's fine so far.
But after I pressed the "Send" button. The words will become unreadable,
they became neither Japanese nor Chinese. However, if I typed all the words
in Hiragana without conversion, then the mail will be encoded correctly.
Obviously, somehow the conversion process changed the encoding of the
letters.

Does anyone has any idea how to fix this? Changing the "non-unicode" setting
in Langauage setting is not an option for me.

Thanks.
