Dear Netter,

	I am using SCO UNIX 3.2.4.2 with NET382D Enhanced TCP/IP 1.2.1 Drivers
with Popper, the POP daemon. My problem is that nine out of ten mail
gateway in Taiwan uses 8-bit clean as Chinese characters are coded
with 8-bit double byte. My user is asking me to come up with an answer
to this problem. I first ask them to use Eudora with POP mail and use
QP to convert the mail into 7bit codes. However the problem remains
when they try to send Chinese text to the outside world or to receive
Chinese from other people in Taiwan.

	Is there anyway I can have a 8-bit clean mailer for SCO UNIX? When can
I get the patch file? Is it MMDF or SENDMAIL? 

	The thing I don't understand is that the version I have is so call
"international." How come they don't support 8-bit mailer?
