   I did by pressing Ctrl-J and selecting LATIN-1 to view it properly. (In my   
   GoldED+ setup I have conversions to CP850 from CP437, LATIN-1 and Michiel's   
   partial UTF-8.)   
      
   You can check that it is LATIN-1 by viewing the hexdump (Alt-I) of your   
   message. You will see that, for example, the first one (ì, lowercase i with   
   grave accent) is hex EC. That's ISO-8859-1 (or CP1252) AKA Fidonet LATIN-1.
