Hello, Shincheon Blues!

You made one mistake in your message: Your Korean came out in a way which is illegible on any monitor.
To correct this:

1. block-copy your message
2. hit the "edit" key in the upper right hand corner of your message
3. go to the menu at the top of the screen and click on Bogi (V)/Inkoding (I)/Hangukeo.
4. block-paste
5. erase everything where the Korean was supposed to be and type it again
6. hit "submit."

You will see all the Korean in garbage again, but a different kind of garbage.
This time, if the viewer likewise hits Bogi (V)/Inkoding (I)/Hangukeo, that viewer will see the Korean as you intended.

Here is "Shincheon" written the wrong way: 신천
And here it is written the right way: ��õ

Thanks for the tip. I have a dual-boot OS and usually go to Korean Windows 2000 when I need to work graphics or type in Hangul. Interestingly enough, when I made the original post, it previewed fine...
