Yes! Changing to Latin1TextConverter did the trick. I assumed UTF8 because they did not specify and mention UTF8 elsewhere in gmail settings Sven Van Caekenberghe-2 wrote > But if the file starts with the Unicode BOM, that is really confusing... > since in UTF8 it would be different, and from your byte sequence it can't > be UTF16 either. It was UTF16. The byte sequence was from a different output format. Changing to UTF16TextConverter successfully parsed the file. I wonder... can all this be handled automatically? When I open either file in OS X, it seems to just "do the right thing". I also wonder why gmail doesn't clearly display the encoding when you're exporting... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Gmail-Contact-Export-and-readStream-tp4759306p4759320.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
