Well, the content property is just plain text, so getting it returns a plain text version of the message. When setting the content, it looses all the formatting info since you are setting it to a simple text string. Actually, a better version would be: set the content of theMsg to (get the content of theMsg as unicode text) This will preserve all of the Unicode characters. Entourage returns 8-bit text by default. Dan -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
