This will happen if your browser doesn't support Java. AssameseMail requires a Java-Enabled Browser. If your browser has Java support and even then if you face this problem, then check whether the Java & Javascripts are enabled in the browser settings. If disabled, set it enabled and then try AssameseMail.

This happens with some of the email client packages such as Lotus Notes. In this case, using the 'Save' command in your email client software, save the message as a HTML file in your local system. After saving, open the saved html file using a Java-Enabled browser such as Internet Explorer 5.0. Now, the browser will display the Assamese mail.

Q 9 : How do i send an email to a user if his email client software doesn't support Java?

Use the SendMail type as 'Send Message as Text' to send the message.
When this option is used, the message will be sent as text and the mail recipient can use any email client software to receive the message. But the recipient requires the IndoWeb Assamese font to read the message.
If the Assamese font is already available in the recipient's system, then the message will appear directly in Assamese. Otherwise, the user has to download and install the Assamese font using the link available in the message.

If you are using Outlook Express(IE) 4.0(or above), set the Encoding from the View menu (View -> Encoding) to User-Defined. If the Encoding is other than User-Defined, Indian language characters will not appear properly.
