Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of email sending and receiving and discloses a method and device for displaying the information of an email. The method includes obtaining email display information through an email agent; invoking a text display interface; displaying the obtained display information to a user in a coded format of Unicode when the user selects the email. In the device, email display information is obtained through an email agent; a text display interface is invoked; the obtained display information is displayed to the user in a coded format of Unicode when the user selects the email. As Unicode is an important universal character coding standard for interaction and display, great convenience may be brought to email senders and receivers in different languages, as well as other users.
