      MSGID: 1:153/7001 679da8cd       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Nick!              > It seems iconv most likely doesn't know what to do with it,       > because it's showing here as UTF-8.              Strange. As is 'file' shows it as 'ISO-8859 text' which I know is wrong.        Forcing it using 'iconv -f koi8-r' shows it as 'Unicode text, UTF-8 text' and       the line in question becomes; Сильный, как бык, умный,       как трактор. Definetly more evidence in favour of setting all       output to utf-8 given all the 8-bit character confusion and corruption. I       believe I said that at the start of this particular thread.              Life is good,       Maurice              -o -o o- o-        (\ (\ /) /)        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
