Subject: Re: Xeon Phi

Hi,

I’m using the default mail client on OS X, which likely caused the encoding mess.
I’ve changed my system language to English now. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

BTW, the new idea seems more challenging. But I’m still more than willing to apply for it.

Thanks,
Lei
