As I see you are working hard on the update: I have your program for the true multilingual capacities and the automatic export to database facilities, I think other users with multilingual international connection also are parts of your userser for the same reasons.
However: 1 as for the encoding from Chinese 2Bytes you should try to improve to ability to recognize the different encodings. I don't know why but I treid to send myself chinese emails from different internet cafe here in Taiwan, and often I got a percentage of unreadable messages although the message was exactly the same. I only use3d severeal different version of Internet explorer and different Windows versions. The point is that using email as much as I do, and receiving e-mails in traditional Chinese is my job. Most people do not use Mac, and this is a fact. Windows has several running versions, and most people simply uses Web mail such as Yahoo.com.tw or Hotmail.com. I doin't know at which point something happens so that on my Mac I receive unreadable garbage no matter how I set the preferences. If you could solve this problem it will make life easier. 2 To keep the Chinese encoding to tab delimited files, you suggest to change the International preferences to Traditional Chinese, log out, open Powermail and export the database. This system works to a certain point. Once the dates are set to Traditional Chinese it becomes very difficult to convert them into other systems. HOwever some text perfectly readable in the Powermail database as such while receiving mails, don't convert properly in the tab delimited fields, I wish you could allow keeping the date and time as they are in the Mail program while exporting to tab files, and especially to avoid the time consuming log out after changing the International preferences. 3 While converting to tab delimited, there is no way to get rid of the HTML codes if some mails include it. Could you create some routine allowing to remove the HTML codes during the transfer? Regards D. Majorana from Taiwan
