Dear Michael:

Further to my earlier posting to Chuck, from the very essential software 
standpoint, it won't work as an Email.  Put double byte languages into an 
English Email client that they will crumble before your very eyes.

One possibility would be a .jpg, .gif or .tif copy of the double byte texts.
