What a great list!  Thanks to Mikael and Andy for your help in transferring
my Entourage folders and address book to PowerMail 5.2.2.

In the "Character Sets" section of Preferences, I've specified US-ASCII.
However, the manual states:  "Note that whatever character set is chosen
here, messages that contain only ASCII characters will be sent with the
US-ASCII character set.  Similarly, non ASCII messages that contain only
characters from the ISO-8859-1 character set will be sent in ISO-8859-1 even
if you specify another character set, because the other character sets can
be be unsupported by certain mail clients or operating systems."  I'm not
sure I understand this.  Does this mean that even if I've specified
US-ASCII, the message *may* be sent in ISO-8859-1 if, e.g., it has a
non-ascii character in it?

For many of my messages, it is crucial that I send them in US-ASCII (and not
ISO-8859-1 or other character sets) because the recipients include people
with disabilities whose assistive technology (some of which is fairly old)
will handle *only* US-ASCII.

Is there any way to be absolutely certain that a message I'm about to send
(parts of which may have been cut and pasted from non-ascii sources) will be
sent in US-ASCII?

Thanks for your help with this.

Ken
