   It's usually in the ~xlat file...   
    --- 8< ---   
   # Syntax: read [,]  [] [-keepsoftcr]   
   #   
   # Here you can configure the charset translations to be used when reading   
   # messages. CHRS and CODEPAGE are taken from the respective kludge lines.    
    --- 8< ---   
      
   And, for posting messages...   
    --- 8< ---   
   # Syntax: post  [,]    
   #   
   # Here you can configure the charset translations to be used when posting   
   # messages. If you don't want to create CHRS kludges, enter "" as CHRS.

   There's more there but that's the guts of the differences.

   Uh, oh... I dunnit again.  ;-)
