There are MacEudora Translation Tables that will accept messages that are
flagged as Windows-1252 and do correct conversion to MacRoman as opposed to
the default conversion that assumes it is in the Mac Version of ISO-8859-1
(ie: Which translate the incoming x80-x9F codepoints to the corresponding
Mac Characters based on the Windows Encoding not the one that MacEudora
uses for ISO-8859-1). I can point you at them if you want (putting the
table into your Eudora Stuff folder automatically handles incoming messages
and allows creation of Windows destined messages containing the extra 32
characters [to the extent that they exist on both platforms]).
