   Hello Rob,   
      
   On Sunday February 26 2023 22:11, you wrote to me:

   All three of your messages have non-ASCCI charcters. They all have the degree   
   character '°' in the sign off, or whatver you call it. In the last message it   
   is also present in the message test before the "--" (two dashes).

   Considering that the CHRS kludge applies to the entire message, I think it is   
   more logical to look at the entire message including header, footer en origin   
   lines to determine the encoding.   
      
   Other than that: my comment was on Chris' message that was a quote-reply to my   
   message. He quoted the UTF-8 encoded text but the reply was in CP437 thereby   
   messing up the quote.   
      
   Chris seems to have a preference for doing away with "legacy" encodings, so I   
   was a bit surprised that his reply was encoded in CP437 instead of UTF-8.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
