no ... the engine is non-utf and that won't change.

I just did a review on mail-clients on the mac and the result was pretty 
frustrating.
There's not a one mail client on the market which could compete with a modern 
version of PowerMail, meaning full UTF and complete imap support (many parallel 
accounts open) with the search power of PM and the clean interface it offers.

so I think a (partial) rewrite of PM would be actually the way to go.

so please Jérôme, think about it.

thanks
Matthias
