   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
