Problem with Outlook POP3 client

My environment is:

- Scalix 11.2 CE (SUSE) configured as a proxy mail server (with Sendmail Smarthost and Fetchmail)
- 4 Outlook 2003 MAPI clients (Windows Vista, Windows XP)
- 1 Outlook POP3 client (Windows Vista)

Every Windows and Outlook are localized in Polish.

The problem is when somebody send mail (with ISO 8859-2 encoding) to mailbox connected via Outlook POP3 client. Scalix Server changes something, and Outlook recognize encoding as UTF-8. It is possible to change in Outlook encoding back to ISO but... you know.

Is it possible Scalix change nothing inside the message ???

Scalix stores all messages internally in UTF-8 since Scalix 11.0.0. Does it display incorrectly for you?

Yes, ISO encoded message displayed in Outlook via connector (MAPI) is correct, but displayed in Outlook as POP3 client isn't !

What exactly is displaying incorrectly?

Since everything is in UTF-8 internally, I suspect it's up to the client to ensure it gets displayed correctly.
