Things are still as they were...  the funny thing is,
SNDDST  seems to send emails just fine when they use the @
sign.

When they use § and the email api, it works fine, shows up
as @ in MIME file header, but § in a PF record that is used
to log emails that are sent out.

So to me, something is surely converting wrong in this
particular case.

They did some searching and found that the § and @
characters are reversed in the different CCSIDs, though.

I'm not sure where else to look.
