This seems to be a bug. I see the same thing. And those single Asian
characters are NOT the names of character sets. It's a bug.
You can do what you want by script. Set the same rule with same criteria to
run this script:
tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
set character set of theMsg to "windows-1252" -- or "ISO-8859-1"
end tell
(I'm not an expert, but I think the "ISO-8859-1" only works with quoted
printable encoding such as is used usually with HTML. If there's any problem
with the above, try:
tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
if has html of theMsg then
set character set of theMsg to "ISO-8859-1"
else
set character set of theMsg to "windows-1252"
end if
end tell
See if that works.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X
or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
