I don't have any experience with a recent enough version of EmailEdit, but
it's not a problem fundamentally to do with the Wimp.  There is nothing
stopping a custom editor like EmailEdit displaying Unicode correctly.  You
might have trouble typing characters if your alphabet is still set to Latin
1, but you'd probably have trouble typing the Unicode characters anyway.

You didn't exactly say how it couldn't cope.  Does it display gibberish in
the editor window if you quote the message when replying?  Or is it
displaying OK but cannot be edited?
