But somehow it evolved        MV> to mean ANY IBM PC codepage and so another kludge was introduced as an        MV> addendum. The CODEPAGE kludge. All that is deprecated. The correct wat        MV> to indicate the encoding is the CHRS kludge.              Yes, I know, the mails in question do only have the IBMPC line, but before       looking for misconfigurations on others, I thought getting clear that there is       no misconfiguration on my side :)               MV> Cheers, Michiel              Joachim                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5--b20170303        * Origin: ----> FidoPI (2:240/6309)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 227/114 229/101 426 452 1014 240/77 2100       SEEN-BY: 240/5138 5832 5853 6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280 2432/390 2454/119       PATH: 240/6309 5832 229/426           |
