Is there a (semi-)automated way to insert such a line in hundreds of AB
entries?

I find your proposition very helpful, and I would like to use it.
But I am afraid of manually adding a line to all my AB entries.
And since reality is more complicated than any theory I guess that I
will forget sometimes to add this line to each new contact. That is
why I dream about the following solution:
When composing a message (new or reply),
1) your QT could get the language information from the AB memo field,
2) if there is no such info, the recipient's address domain extension
is used to determine the language,
3) if this is not possible (".com" or Slovak using a Czech domain,
etc.), in this case there should be a possibility to call manually a
QT (as Miguel Urech described on Saturday in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
And depending on this language information
1) %CharSet is defined,
2) %Language is defined and
3) different text templates are used
Sounds good, doesn't it? - Who writes the code? (-:
If I get this working I will uninstall MS Outlook from my machine. (-:
