My original goal was to switch to thunderbird, but it failed because of the
garbled subjest problem.
Then i tried to move my mail archive to online archive using IMAP, same
problem.
I then tested outlookexpress, not because i like it, but because it's also
by Microsoft, i wanted to see if those 2 systems were better talking to
eachother. but i just got the same result as the other above.
So i guessed it's something wrong with outlook itself.
The reason why i posted the outlookexpress example to this forum (and not
thunderbird) is because i want to keep the focus to my problem, i didnt want
people to answer me that thunderbird is not outlook compatible or whatever.
thanks for helping
