   mbfido: error converting encoding - help   
   01 Jan 19 15:49:01   
   
   Hi there,   
   it looks like mbfido on my system has a problem with emails (smtp) that are   
   encoded in CP437:   
      
   chartran_init(IBM437, Undef): iconv_open(Undef, UTF-8) error: Invalid   
   argument   
      
   mbfido then exits with a SIGSEV and thus blocks all mail processing until I   
   manually remove or "zero" the mbox files in the user's home directory.   
      
   This only happens with email, not echo- or netmail.   
      
   Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems like iconv is unable to work   
   the "Undef" source encoding. But the original message is in CP437.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Niels
