Special characters not displaying correctly

I have a lotusscript agent that takes the rich text body field of an email, parses it for information and then does stuff with the results.

This worked very nicely in versions 6 and 7 but having upgraded my client to R8 over the weekend I am finding that this now interprets some characters strangely (e.g. ‘ö’ now interprets as ‘ö’).

Does anyone have any pointers here?

Thanks,

Matt

which provided a resolution for me.
