I have not used Notes R6 extensively but based on my understanding of the
Notes R4 - R5 code, the mail content area is a Notes Rich Text field,
which is implemented internally to Notes. It's not a Windows control
therefore will not be responsive to code that hooks into Windows controls.

Notes is localized for many countries,including, I think, Chinese,
although the Notes R6 Beta is probably US-English only. I suggest you
experiment with a copy of Notes R5 with Chinese localization.

If you need technical details on how localized versions of Notes handle
alternate keyboard input methods, let me know and I'll see what I can dig
up.
