There's an RB bug that's causing a problem with the RTF import on Windows (here's the report: feedback://showreport?report_id=15724). Basically GetInternetTextEncoding always returns Nil in Windows, which causes the characterSetToEncoding function in RTFUtilities to return nil as well. This causes a nil object exception.
