An update ...
More experimenting revealed that the offending character actually has
ascii value 138. This is shown as an "è" character in an ascii table.
When I displayed the subject text with ...
display dialog "2" default answer subText
the character displayed is "Ä", but when this is pasted into Smile as
a comment it becomes "ä".
I have encountered Mail subject lines with unicode characters that
translate to ? with no problem, but ascii 138 seems to be an
exception. Should I remove just ascii 138 or should I remove all
characters with ascii number > 127 ?
I can remove all ascii > 127 with this code ...
set maxLen to (length of subText)
repeat with i from maxLen to 1 by -1
ASCII number (character i of subText)
if the result > 127 then
if i = 1 then
text 2 thru -1 of subText
else if i = maxLen then
text 1 thru -2 of subText
else
(text 1 thru (i - 1) of subText) & (text (i + 1) thru -1 of subText)
end if
set subText to the result
end if
end repeat
This solves my problem, but ... something is wrong with ascii char
138 !!!
Anyone know what ? _______________________________________________
