   Here you go.... :)   
      
    MK> Here are 4 utf8 characters that all contain a trailing 0x81 byte:   
    MK> Á Ё с Ӂ   
      
    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x83 byte:   
    MK> Ã σ Ѓ у   
      
    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x88 byte:   
    MK> È ψ Ј ш   
      
    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x8d byte:   
    MK>       
      
   [the above set came on four separate lines for at least one bbs]   
      
    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x8f byte:   
    MK> Ï ď Џ я   
      
    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x90 byte:

    MK> These 4 all contain a trailing 0x98 byte:

    MK> I believe they cover all the holes in CP1250, CP1251 and CP1252.  If   
    MK> my hunch was correct then the charaters with trailing 0x81, 0x8d,   
    MK> 0x8f, 0x90 and 0x9d should end up with their trailing bytes stripped   
    MK> and therefore no longer be valid utf8 characters.  If only the ones   
    MK> with 0x8d get their trailing bytes stripped then it is likely mark's   
    MK> hunch about the end of line is most likely correct.  If none of them   
    MK> get stripped of their trailing bytes then ?!?!?!?!?!    
      
   It's looking likely that mark's hunch could be valid....    
      
   Sorry it took me so long to get to this....
