    BP> wish to hotdoged, use charset dynamic based on content is 7bit or not   
      
           I understand, but the problem is not with me specifically.   
      
           The Brazilian Portuguese echos of Fido (BR.*) use CP850 especifically   
   by design and by some old software thatīs still in use, hence everyone write   
   there using CP850, even myself (I change my CHRS for the BR.* echos)   
      
           In that case, it would be awesome to have CP850 support for HOTDOGED.
