Affects: gnome-pilot-conduits (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When synchronizing the Palm memos the filenames and the file contents are in ISO-8859-1. This is not very nice in an UTF-8 environment, as GNOME is. It is not possible to open such a file with simply clicking on the file. I have to open Gedit from menu, then open the file and first saying that the file has ISO characters.
Creating a new memo on have to change the caracter set on save and eventually change the filename if it contains non ASCII characters. This is not user friendly.
