Thanks for the quick feedback. Seems like there are different opinions on DoCoMo here. I noticed the Japanese i-mode documentation suggests only Shift_JIS, but the English page says Shift_JIS and UTF-8 is fine. Before posting, I checked the archive. Am I mistaken or does the search function only dig through messages until 2005? PascalReceived on Wed Dec 12 10:41:47 2007
