I found that Plus!Mail 1.5 only support writing mail in ISO-8859-1 charset, so all the letter writing in unicode character could not be displayed properly.
Could the latter version of Plus!Mail offer us the chance to set the proper charset when writing letter?
I installed the latest Live Messenger, msgplus & Plus!Mail 1.5 on my PC. (by July 19), and here is the header of letter I sent to my gmail account using the Plus!Mail. I wrote the letter using charset GB2312, while the mail received by gmail was transfered to ISO-8859-1
