When I tried this (Emailer to PowerMail 3 and 4) in 2003 Emailchemy still failed to keep proper international characters both in messages and especially in subjectlines. You know if it supports this better now? When I let Outlook 4 import everything everything was as it should be. After going from Outlook to PowerMail all subjectlines were again erroneous, likewise after going one step further to Entourage (still correct) and from there to Unix mailbox format. The solution for some messages, but not all was to export again to Unix mailbox from PowerMail format and reimport it (!). Sure took a while. I have yet to find a reliable way that works with Emailer 2 -> PowerMail that can keep international characters in the subject. I'll revisit the problem when I have more time. At this point, I'd prefer to replace existing messages, with the wide variety of char codes I have (far from consistent) witht the proper ones. Suggestions are welcome for either problem.
