Griping about Lotus Notes

Sigh. After almost two weeks of being without e-mail at work, they finally migrated my account from Netscape Mail to Lotus Notes. While that in itself was annoying, the documentation provided post-transition... Well, the word "skimpy" comes to mind.

But what's really bugging me about this mail program isn't that it's completely different from Netscape's (or Eudora's or MS Outlook's). What's bugging me is there is a "Display Kanji" button up in my menu bar. It's obviously an important thing, up there with the "Address Book", "Send Mail", "Close Mail", and "Send and File" buttons. It'll be in the Lotus Notes Help, right? Search in Help: "Could not find 'Kanji'."

Clicking the "Display Kanji" button changes the font to a monospaced font and repeats the subject line in the body.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, kanji is a Japanese system of writing that utilizes characters borrowed or adapted from Chinese writing. Would it have been so hard to put that in the Help section?
