this looks like a 'unicode' problem....
when i open up the 'raw source' on your email with my
little Mac Mail.app I notice:
<< name like "Waalv\345g Scott" or "Mike\n
\330yvind", >>
so the trick is 'how do i get perl to parse
unicode data so that there is some way to save
that "\345" token where it belongs in the dataset.
there are a variety of modules at the CPAN
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=unicode
that you may want to look into.
The problem with how they are 'saved in the file correctly'
may also be an interesting problem as well.... since as
the example above notes - in a 'raw ascii mode' that "\345"
would appear to most to be 'wrong' - except of course that
it actually IS the way that those things are 'packed up'
and shipped around...
