Re: Japanese language files

Hi,

I have a cold in these two days, getting recover now...

First, I won't cry down to someone at all but describe current status
and things move to better.

I forward Scott's mail to [email protected] but
it might not deliver to the list, I include all of his mail below
except my signature.

I should say, it is *actually* dead.  Yes, web server itself running
but,

* Contents aren't updated for long time.
* Links in old contents are broken and it is only way to access old
  contents is refer from Google's cache.  Otherwise, most of links are
  leed to top of old top page, not real linked page.

Why it wasn't noted on www.squirrelmail.jp?

If current www.squirrelmail.jp would be closed or migrate to new site,
existing users could get connections effectively via
[email protected].

Of cource, I don't know why [email protected] become
"holds all incoming message" and I think that the operation of mailing
list is responsible of its owner.  But I want to some message when
holding incoming message => stop maling list (I thought).

I see and I put my hand up for improvement of Japanese translations.
