You're missing the obvious here. The part I have difficulties with is NOT the actual mail address in itself, but the name part that come BEFORE the mail address. In our example it's the first two words in "Eva Holgén <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. The address is between brackets and we are both in agreement what characters can be contained there. However the name part is still an integral part of the header. I have had several problems with accented and umlaut characters there. In my experience importing messages with umlauts and accented characters from Claris Emailer and other email clients that displays properly in Emailer can be destroyed to gibberish, especially so in the header. And typed accented characters in the native PowerMail addressbook doesn't show up in the displayed name. This also extends to the header of sent messages, so it's not just a cosmetic problem. Umlauts do work, however.
