Update and clarification. This snippet of code should explain
something about what is happening ...
tell application "Mail"
...
set subText to (subject of msg)
end tell
--
set badChar to (character 57 of subText)
display dialog ((class of subText) as text) & space & (ASCII number
of badChar)
----> Unicode text 63
The 'ASCII number' function correctly translates 'badChar' to "?"
before reporting the value 63.
--
set subText to (subText as text)
But something goes wrong here. 'badChar' should translate to
"?" (ascii 63), but instead, '... as text' translates 'badChar' to
ascii number 138.
--
set badChar to (character 57 of subText)
display dialog ((class of subText) as text) & space & (ASCII number
of badChar)
----> string 138
I need to experiment more with strings containing ascii number 138.
