Re: How to manually transform a page by Padma?

The following reply reached directly to me and probably
didn't reach the 
list, hence quoting the same with my comments inline so that
it helps all.

you are right. I could see the logic. with plain text, padma
code is not 
able to know what font it is written in.

well, I wrote those html codes its in the plain text font,
and tried to 
convert and it didn't work.

Then, instead of composing in plain text, I composed in
HTML, and 
changed the font of those letters itself to Chanakya. As
chanakya is 
installed in my pc, those become visible in hindi.

Then I saved that mail through sent later, and in unsent
messages 
folder, tried to transform manually to unicode

It worked. the chankya coded part got transformed to
Unicode

Thanks, I could understand how to make it work.

Hope you could incorporate enough error messages and
guidelines in 
future versions of padam for people like me.
