"Split recipients" and character set

[coffeegreek]

Paul, I was wondering if you have tried the modification you suggested
some time ago to your "split recipients" script so that the new
messages would keep the character set of the original. It doesn't work
in my hands, i.e. the new messages revert to "automatic" character set,
which creates a problem with greek characters.
Many thanks
George

I have downloaded Paul's "split recipients" script for sending mail to
a large list. It does an excellent job, but there is a problem with the
character encoding. If I set a specific setting, i.e. Greek ISO in the
original message, it reverts to "automatic" in the newly created split
messages. This creates a problem, as reported before
(http://tinyurl.com/dzgws). Is there a simple command I can add to the
script to force the new messages to keep the character set I want?

Yes. Untested so far (I'll test it tomorrow, but you can right now),
but it
should just work.
Near the top of the script, in Script Editor, you'll see a section:

set theSubject to the subject of theMsg as Unicode text
set theBody to the content of theMsg as Unicode text
set theAccount to the account of theMsg
set thePriority to the priority of theMsg

In Script Editor, add a line at the bottom of that:

set theCharacterSet to character set of theMsg
