What about incoming messages? Could I change erroneous messages that have
curly quotes to display with UTF-8 encoding instead, even if the rest of
the message isn't actually encoded with UTF-9? If I need to do this with
a script I most likely would have to parse the source including headers,
don't you think?
Could you advice on a reliable way to get the message, as it is stored in
raw text on the server, to be available to an applescript running inside
PM? When I get to curly quotes they are both regular quotes in the
script. At least if I can trust Script Debugger 3.08. I assume it is PM
that changes this? 

If not, some enlightenment on source/stored chars vs displayed chars
would be more than welcome.
