Perhaps I have misunderstod something. An example may show
what I mean. Our system lookup the entry with the msgid of
"PO file info" in order to get hold of the charset used:

msgid "PO file info"
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2003-10-21 16:45+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <[email protected]>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <[email protected]>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

But the header written by poEdit have an empty msgid string.
Is it possible to define the msgid string for the header info
with poEdit? That should also solve the problem.

Well, since we already have a header entry in the .po file
it isn't broken.

FYI: We are not using the GNU gettext tools to create our
.po files. But we use the same file format and should therefore
be able to make excellent use of poEdit when updating the .po files.
