Please help me to understand this:

I use Outlook2003+Exchange in OST mode.
I thought my store is in unicode but it rather appears it is not.

I use Czech language and +ěšÄ�řžýáÃ* characters are kept ok.
But French characters like è are not kept in user defined fields.

As I look in MFCMAPI tool to the Exchange store i can see
1. default field such as Subject being PT_STRING8 and 1 byte corresponds
to one character
2. user defined field has the same PT_STRING8 and 1 byte per 1 character
è being displayed as simple e and coded also by ASC of single e

I would expect something like PT_UNICODE ???

The same problem I have when entering è character from clipboard and also
when importing it usind CDO 1.21 object model.

Please help me to understand what shall I do to turn on UNICODE in Outlook.
Or any hint how this conceptually works. I have read from discussions that I
have to have some flag turned on that the store supports UNICODE but what
shall I do in my case that Outlook supports it ?

It is annoying I thought that in the year 2008 we need not cope with such
stupid basic things that should work automatically.

The same problem I have if I connect secondary PST (to exclude the store on
Exchange) that should according to Marketing promises "support unicode from
version 2003" and still the same problem. data disapperaring - or to be more
precise è turns to e.
