>Unfortunately, UTF-8 is a relatively new encoding with limited support in >older browser versions. For example, when I open the HTML file included in >this email below in my 4.72 Netscape browser, the text that's shown in the >HTML form is incorrect.

You need to set proper fonts for Unicode encoding on Netscape 4.x. By default, they are all Latin fonts in Netscape English version. On Netscape 4.7x, you can change fonts used for UTF-8 pages by following steps. 1. Select [Edit - Preferences...] from the menu 2. In the "Preferences" dialog box, select "Appearance - Fonts" on the category tree displayed left side. 3. Select "Unicode" at "For the Encoding" field 4. Set proper fonts in "Variable Width Font" and "Fixed Width Font" fields. Set a font which can display Arabic text to the Arabic text section by style sheet might resolve this configuration issue. -Yoshito Umaoka
