      MSGID: 1:153/7001 679c32dd       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Nick!              > What in the world would be causing this to send in iso-8859-1 yet it       > tacks on a 'CHRS: CP437' kludge?              I always blame microsoft programmers when seeing things like you describe.        You now have me wondering what would happen with cp866 or other 8-bit ibm       character sets.              > I'd prefer that they could read my reply properly in whatever       > charset they're using.              An honourable goal for sure. However I have seen msg's that claim cp437 when       they're actually cp1252. A certain Björn was famous for this behavior.              Life is good,       Maurice              -o o- -o -o        (\ /) (\ (\        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
