Sorry? Why that? Any decent mailer should be able to filter a message
"online" before it gets displayed or answered. It doesn't matter at all
where the messages are actually stored, as they aren't even touched for
that.

Why not? Your own messages will of course be in iso-8859-1 (or -15 like
you seem to use now), but even MicroSoft products will be able to
receive them properly when set to UTF-8 (which only applies to the
charset used in outgoing messages by default, it doesn't mean Outlook
(Express) won't accept other charsets than UTF-8).


Ciao
