I'll provide that later this week.

Is it not possible for the synce plugin to assume a given charset
(windows something) for the pocketpc and then translate to utf8 before
passing the information to the opensync engine itslef ?

well, the sync between the pocketpc and the file looked to have worked
correctly. Remember: it was a sync for a new pair. The one that did not work
was the evo2-synce and I did not use it anymore.

by trace, you mean the debug output (mainly synce plugin traces) ad in
the attached file ? (it is the STDERR output of msynctool during the
sync with the conflicts)

BTW, the question for each of the conflict makes me think that the
plugin presents the content of the entry as a file and not as a
vcard/vcal stuff. Should the plugin presents the entry information as
the xml shown in the questions (in that case coming from the
file-sync) ?
