Basically I am moving contacts from the Apple Address Book to the bbdb database. The address book supports amongst other things UTF-8 or Windows Latin-1 encoding for the exported vcards. Loading them into emacs gives a lot of @ characters in an unreadable text. I tried setting the encoding manually before loading the file, but nothing seems to help. I'm even wondering of my emacs version supports these encodings. Emacs Version: 21.3 OS: Mac OS X 10.2 Any help is greatly apreciated. Frank
