I'm using outlook, sometimes it munges so bad that I see precisely nothing,
I get a 6K e-mail with no displayed characters, so I have to view the
archive on sourceforge, at least it degraded gracefully in this case. If you
know of a good mac client that can read an outlook .pst file...

The modified STRING will be ready in time and a couple of phones adjusted
and tested, do you want me to hold off with this change?
I tried the vx4400, it dislikes non-ascii characters, but at least has the
good sense to display a ?. This phone will stay ascii only.
