If I run the following applescript code on a normally fetched message
with the headers as shown by "show full headers" inside PowerMail:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable"
script:
tell application "PowerMail"
set theMessages to current messages
repeat with msg in theMessages
set s to source of msg
display dialog s buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end repeat
end tell
then it displays the same encoding as the headers say inside PowerMail.
But if I do it with an imported message (from Eudora format) with the
same headers it says:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=x-mac-roman
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable"
So does the headers as shown by PowerMail lie? Is the native stored
format actually x-mac-roman with imported messages? Perhaps the imported
message files was in x-mac-roman or there s some explanation, but I'd
really like that the headers shown is the actual encoding that the
message is stored as.
Can CTM or someone in the know please clarify the situation?
