Import/Export of Adress Book; Weird Characters

Hey!
I hope you can help me with this.
I'm trying to back up my WinMail adress book and messages, export them to my
server and import them in Outlook Express to use them there as my laptop
needs to be sent for service.
The problem however is that when importing my adress book into Outlook
Express, all swedish letters ( å, ä, ö ), looks really weird, which kind of
messes up my entire adress book. Since street names, first/last name, company
name etc. get's all messy it's not very pleasant to view nor use.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Sounds like you don't have the correct language files installed in the destination system. Try that. I take it you are in Sweden or communicate with people from there?

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message and a very large number of electrons were asked their permission to be terribly inconvenienced. And a party was thrown for them afterwards for being really cool about it.

Hi!
It's wierd because both OS' and programs are in swedish so it shouldn't be
any problems.
How do I get language files?
