You need a Hangul environment on your Mac first. Don't forget Netscape and Internet Explorer. They are good email clients too. |  | |

Eudora Light and Eudora Pro
|
|
Eudora Light is a freeware sibling of commercial Eudora Pro from Qualcomm. Even though this freeware version does not support many bells and whistles Eudora Pro provides such as filtering, it is powerful enough for most users and free.

Claris Emailer
|
|
Claris Emailer has better interface and is easier to use than Eudora Light or Pro. If you have online service accounts like America Online or Compuserve besides internet, Emailer lets you check all these accounts at the same time with just one click. This is real time saver and even though you don't use several accounts, it has many advanced features which you can find in Eudora Pro.
Most of all, for a limited time (probably until Claris releases Emailer v2.0) you can download this commercial email client for free from Claris. If you are using freeware Eudora Light, then go and get this before time's up.

Receiving Hangul E-Mail
|
|
Have you seen garbled Hangul messages even in Hangul patched Eudora? Main
reason for this problem is those Hangul messages are encoded by 7 bit
ISO-2022-KR by their mailer. These messages should be decoded by
recipient's mailer back to 8 bit EUC-KR to be read correctly. Most Korean mail
servers do this transparently because they use HangulSendMail. If you are abroad, probably your mailer doesn't do this for you. The definitive solution to this problem is to modify your mailer to do it,
however, in most cases, you are not allowed to do this. Here are some
work-arounds :
|
|
Hangul Mail
|
This control panel by Jeong-hyun Kim who has been doing great work to solve this problem must be your solution on Mac side. Install this extension then it does code conversion in the background for you when your e-mails are fetched from server by Eudora or Netscape. Also, it converts outgoing e-mails to 7 bit ISO-2022-KR too. It is distributed as freeware.
Hangul Mail v1.0.2 is available at :

Hcode in Unix account
|
Hcode written by JuneYup Lee is a Hangul code converter running on Unix and supprots conversions between ISO-2022-KR, KSC-5601, Sambo Johab, etc.
Just save a broken Hangul message and use Hcode to convert the saved text to KSC-5601. Of course, you need Hangul capable telnet or terminal emulator to do this in Unix account from your Mac. If you can't bear with this inconvenience or want to use Eudora to read and send Hangul mail without explicit code conversion, modify configuration files ( a.k.a. dot files ) in your account to do filtering incomming and outgoing messages through Hcode automatically. See readme file included in Hcode for more details. The latest version is Hcode2.1 and available at:
|
|
Hangul patched Emacs
|
Hemacs, Hangul patched version of emacs, converts ISO-2022-KR encoded text automatically to 8-bit and displays it when you open saved broken Hangul mail.
More convenient way is to read Hangul mails within hemacs by using the emacs' built-in mail reader and it does all code conversion chore in background and displays decoded Hangul mails directly.
As previous case, you need a telnet or terminal emulator which can display Hangul. Before you start to download Hemacs, you have to make sure you have enough disk space in your Unix account because it is too big to install on personal account.

|
Hangul Mail Converter
|
Hangul Mail Converter, a Mac version of Hcode, ported by Jeong-hyun Kim consists of two small applications iso2ks and ks2iso for ISO-2022-KR <->KSC-5601 conversions. It is easy to use and works well with Eudora and Netscape. It is distributed as freeware.
|
|
Unicorn Editor
|
Unicorn Editor is WorldScript savvy styled text editor but also it has built-in ISO-2022-KR filter. Unlike Hangul Mail Converter which needs several steps to see converted mail, just save your ISO-2022-KR encoded mail from Edora and open the saved text from Unicorn Editor. That's it. All you have to do is to select proper Hangul font for Styles in Preferences from File menu and check Auto Filter External ISO-2022 Code option in File->Preferences->Special.
This is shareware($10) and available at :

Toctac
|
This Hangul code converter included in commercial version of HKK (Demo version of HKK does not include this) provides broken Hangul mail recovery feature since version 1.4. However, this function is not perfect and there is a room to improve.
You can download time-limited (30 days) trial version of Toctac from:
