   I am assuming its saved as a UTF-8 message since it contains UTF-8 characters,   
   so Mystic is displaying the UTF8.   
      
   Are you asking for Mystic to try to convert UTF8 to various DOS codepages for   
   messages with a UTF8 kludge on terminals that aren't UTF8?  Mystic does convert   
   to UTF8 and but not the other way around although I could add that.
