Instead to do a conversion after-send prior to the actual archiving on the disk. But UTF-8 is pretty much standard as well, aye? So why not. This seems to be the best solution because now not only are the messages archived in a form that is searchable and readable, they are also still messages that don't need to be "converted back" if used in a mail setting again. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
