Oh, well, I'm looking forward for it, then :)

No, they're both for Windows, but Italian is the same on any OS! ;)
I believe that many Italian users on it.comp.hardware.palmari could
be interested in an Italian version of Yanoff.

OMG! I'd hope you're kidding, but you seem serious :)

I *had* to insert manually the MIME headers, since my messages are 
rarely in 7bit US-ASCII: Italian words use letters as àèéìòóù, and
I also happen to need the € character, sometimes. ISO-8859-1 would
be enough for most words, while € need ISO-8859-15 .

Apart from being RFC-compliant? :)
[See RFC2046 and draft-ietf-usefor-article-12 for example]

Anyway, I was not talking about video or music attachments... I was 
talking about *plaintext messages*, which need correct MIME headers
to be displayed correctly 'cause they use characters not present in 
standard 7bit US-ASCII.

By the way, I used Yanoff 1.5.5b2 for a few days, and its new menu, 
Locale Prefs, allowed me to choose between ASCII (i.e. no headers), 
ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2. Could be enough for me :)

Surely it will work anyway on B/W and Low-Res devices, right?

Thanks [that was a mistyping :)].
