even if you use TEXT, but have nonstandard chars in the text/subject like 
"äöü" the archives become unreadable.

I think the problem here is that the format it is stored in the archives is 
the only "transportable" one. If we strip html, the message might loose 
significant information, if we transform into something Windows-readable it 
might not readable by MACs or UNIX.

BUT I agree for the Web-Interface: to view the archives the mails must be 
transformed into something readable.
