Somehow it worked...hang in there! ;-)
Hi,

I finally managed to import most of my messages to the N900, but I also have a few messages containing special characters. Actually the name of the contact who sent the messages contain those special characters.

I am thinking of deleting the name and replacing it with the phone number of the contact but which editing software should I use? Notepad seems to mess with the encoding of the csv file, which software did you use?

Thanks!

Edit: Alternatively you can tell me which encoding I should use when saving in Notepad, I'll be removing all special characters anyway
