I was aware of that. However these emails exist and I can't get Outlook to change anyway. > It is highly unlikely > that > all your malformed emails are in utf-8.

The bodies look OK before and after conversion. UTF8 subjects break after conversion from pst to dbmail via mbox. My plan if all else fails is to generate the mbox files and then go through them searching for the UTF8 subjects and recode these only. Or modify libpst to do that which would be more efficient. > If those utf-8 emails looked OK in Outlook, maybe problem is in libpst. Maybe, however I remember having come across this problem with malformed Outlook subjects before. I'll investigate further next week. Thanks for your comments Tomas!
