Accents as in é (or, e accent aigu/accute accent if that doesn't display on
your email system)?  Not that I know of, though you could use TRANSLATE to
translate them if you have a reasonably small number (most single languages
have only a handful, and it would be trivial to write a translate routine to
translate them to their unaccented characters).
