Send Message using Java

When this option is used, the mail recipient can directly view the Malayalam message using any Java compatible email client software or browser. There is no need for the recipient to download any hindi font.
Use this option if the recipient is using a Java compatible email client software such as Microsoft Outlook 5.0 or Browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.

Send Message as Text

When this option is used, the message will be sent as text and the mail recipient can use any email client software(or any web-based email service) to read the Malayalam message.
The recipient requires the IndoWeb Malayalam font to read the message. If the Malayalam font is already available in the recipient's system, then the message will appear directly in Malayalam. Otherwise, the user has to download and install the Malayalam font using the link available in the message.

4. After composing the message, select the 'Send Mail' button to send the message.
