I am the author of eMA. Currently, what eMA does with archiving messages is
to ask PowerMail to send it the message's "content" using AppleScript. That
content is sent without change to FileMaker.
I do not know what criteria PowerMail uses to send different language
encodings. I do know that it tries to send text/plain when it can, and seems
to return nothing at all for some html-only messages. You can check this
yourself in an AppleScript editor. If you need help, let me know. I am as
curious about this as you are.
Perhaps someone from PowerMail can tell us what will happen when different
language encodings are received and someone moves their "content" object in
AppleScript to FileMaker?
I have not looked into language encodings, for I assumed that email
applications would already do the translation to Mac type. I could easily be
wrong.
