It happens with every message/any message.
I will see if they can try what you've o-suggested (install Outlook 10
or 11 and try again) and write you back.

For the moment, I've patched back my old "extraction" code and it
should work -- but of course I prefer the SaveAs() method.

I am using Outlook 2003 during development. Comparing the two outputs
(one using SafeMailItem.SaveAs() and the other using
IMessage.GetStream().SaveToFile()), I've noticed that using the
SaveAs() method strips accented characters from recipient names,
whereas my alternate solution (using CDO) automatically encodes the
names in quoted-printable (which is a good thing).

By the way Redemption is an essential tool in Outlook programming -- if
I can be of any help identifying how to reproduce these issues, I'd be
glad. I'd probably have a couple of questions for other problems I've
encountered in the last year, for which I've found some workaround
solutions (which were not always pretty).
