   WHAAAT?  You've only noticed that now after all these years?  LOL   
      
   I guess you never used Ctl-O very much.     
      
   Even Thunderbird has its own little way of representing those things.   
      
   But what I *do* find unusual is OXP's insistance of changing incoming     
   CP437 to IBM437.   If it has something to do with built-in hardcoded     
   codepage data in OXP, then maybe that make sense.
