   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.

   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,
