If you simply forward it back to the list, using a mail command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local user support or consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will be distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply" function of your mail program. ---------------- Message requiring your approval (117 lines) ------------------ Anna, We have implemented a course in Chinese, using WebCT 3.8 Campus Edition. The text is written in Traditional Chinese Big5, and the character font specifically requested by the instructor is BiauKai. Once Traditional Chinese Big5 encoding is selected in the browser, the site is readable using Netscape and Safari, it does not work in IE. With the previous edition of WebCT 3.7 this exact same site was readable only in IE.
