Hmmm very odd because I did not get the prompt nor see any Japanese. Like someone said, it probably has to do with Charles being in Japan perhaps his ISP routinely sends along a translator ?? The next time someone gets something like this can they please forward it in it's entirety to me at mdcat.geo@yahoo.com Kathi Jones-Hudson JONES Listowner __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Kathi, I did not get the message either and I suspect it is because I am working with an XP operating system and have set up Japanese as an alternative language in my International settings. It has been awhile since I worked with another OS but other users can check your options under TOOLS in your E-mail program. Look under the send and read TABS.

Kathi, I'm not sure if anyone has responded to your request yet........It is only a small "Menu" or "Prompt" that appears in the center of the screen. It says: To view this message please download the program (japanese,etc.). It's not a bother if it's just from someone from overseas, etc. But now it seems to be happening nearly every post. All everyone needs to do is hit cancel, most of our computer programs has a translater. Don't stop sending your messages Charles.......You could still be our kin, Right?
