   I can go back further.

   No, the message has no CHRS kludge - so "xlatimport cp437" assumes that   
   message is cp437.   
      
   I can't imagine why that message wouldn't be cp437. Wilfred has more of a   
   cp437 setup and it displays fine for him. Here is the same message viewed over   
   telnet using Syncterm - which is a cp437 telnet client. Currently, it does not   
   support utf-8.   
      
   Also, in a previous message I also showed a screenshot of the same message   
   viewed in Thunderbird using Smapinntpd - which uses the same character   
   translation tables as Golded. In Smapinntpd's config, I use "read cp437" which   
   is basically the same thing as "xlatimport cp437" and it displays correctly   
   there as well.
