<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mother_Language_Day" target="_blank"><span>International Mother Language Day</span><span></span></a><span>,
we announced support for EAI in Office 365 and Outlook.com. We are focusing on Outlook and webmail for now, though we will follow up regarding other mail clients soon.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>Likewise we are focusing on Indian scripts now, because Microsoft India is taking the lead on this announcement.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>UASG is mentioned and a snippet of content from UASG-007 is used. Also, we make a callout to XGenPlus as a Microsoft partner and source of India script language mailboxes.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>We are expecting this to be well-received in India. I have listed some English-language uptake so far, below.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>Thanks to everyone in UASG and in these mailing lists who helped make this happen!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
