This is a problem with FileMaker. I remember that at Apple we had to write a bunch of custom email headers for the email in order to have FileMaker do what we needed with non US-ASCII characters. I'll dig through my old scripts and see if I can dig up anything, but I only have access to the scripts I wrote and compiled as AppleScript files. Things which I wrote and were included as part of FileMaker's custom scripts I no longer have access to and I think that's where we ended up burying that piece of code.

I "abuse" mailto for transfering mails from FileMaker to PowerMail and to send them therefrom. Example of the FileMaker(FM)-script: ---------- "mailto:"&FM_FIELD_ADDRESS&"?subject= "&""&FM_FIELD_SUBJECT&""&"&body="&""FM_FIELD_MAILTEXT&"" ---------- Works fine. Unfortunately PowerMail doesn't support "&from=" in the mailto string (unlike other programs so as Eudora, see <http://www.tandb.com.au/email/ clients/>). Anyway. --> The much bigger problem is: the diacritic signs (like the german umlauts) come in a very strange form into the PowerMail mailtext. Converting such signs into ASCI or Unicode code (with preceding %-sign) couldn't help. Is there a way to encode such diacritic signs in the body of mailto in a form which PowerMail accepts?
