But CHRS kludge in message will look like UTF-8 2.              Yes, I've known this for quite some time. And my current issue has to do       with reading messages (the one we've been using as an example) specifically       translated from cp437 to utf-8.              Otherwise, if I absolutely have to reply to a message containing cp437       characters, I just don't quote those - as I know they won't be translated       properly.              Regards,       Nick              ...
