Not that the following are correct but, after hiccups I did manage to  
get Mirth running on Mac, so just wondered, after you selected  
Channels / New channel:

- in the first pane (Summary) had you set Incoming data to "XML"  
because, although the setting defaults to HL7 2.x which my data  
contains, that data is, as you already pointed out, XML-wrapped

- did your attempt to convert involve your having selected, from the  
Scripts tab, "Convert XML to HL7"?

I noticed when I clicked in the left navbar of the Mirth  
administrator "Help on this topic" I was taken to the following page

	http://www.mirthproject.org/index.php?option=com_jd- 
wiki&Itemid=44&id=channeleditor

which said

	If the channel receives messages pre-encoded in XML rather than ER7  
then ‘Channel will receive XML pre-encoded HL7 messages’ should be  
checked.

but no such checkbox is apparent in 1.7... I have posted a remark to  
that effect in the "discussion" portion of their wiki page.
