There is no need to do it. The situation you de-

As I understand, your only problem is the ASCII cod-
ing of non-ASCII characters is message source files
(.eml). But this is correct and connot be changed.
Sylpheed and your browser know how to interpret
those characters, while their underlying representa-
tion remains ASCII. You'll have to use some proces-
sor to convert sources to plain text unicode, but I
can't suggest a one.
