No. That isn't SA's job. It is a scanning tool. Please don't try to turn 
it into a swiss army knife.


See if there are some options in your MTA's delivery chain for desired 
mailbox encoding. The proper place for that sort of thing would be the 
tool that does final delivery to the user's mailbox.

not as i know, if you asked how to convert from latin-1 to unicode it 
could safely be done, but the other way around is only safe if origin 
used a latin 1 terminal to write on


If not, does someone know of a POP3 proxy (Windows or Linux) that I 
could

add to the mix?


if one like to make it work it could convert to html so its html 
entities, with does not need any unicode support at all


make this hint to the sender could solve it :=)


Thank you.


using chrome v42 here on windows 8.1 64bit works for me, but if it needs 
to be a mail client try thunderbird

honestly change the mail client, we have 2015 now

besides that no MTA / filter should magnle incoming mail to not break 
signatures and so on it's technically impossible to convert UTF8 in a 
sane way to ISO-8859-1 because it supports a lot of chars which are not 
available and that's the purpose for UTF8
