If you receive messages that have no charset information specified in the header, you will be able to manually set the charset to use with version 5. >Although my date an time preferences in my Machine are Set to >dd-mm-year, and I receive my mail in this format. while I export to tab >delimited for FMP7 the date changes although my preferences in the FMP7 >are set to read as dd-mm-year. I think the tab delimited format is always saved with the american date format, so you need to use this format if FM to import it. You can probably change the format after you have imported the data. >As I export Traditional email to tab-delimited format I loose totally >all my Chinese Words.

So, you must set your preferred language to chinese in the system preferences, log out and in, then export to tab delimited format, to get a file in mac chinese encoding.
