   This is true, however.. that's the fault of those sysops. I've found the best   
   working method has been to 'assume' any message with *no* chrs kludge is   
   CP437, since it probably comes from a BBS package with ANSI support.

   Here's a couple links that addressed this issue.

   Unfortunately, you can only try to get the hundreds of sysops using older   
   versions of Synchronet to update. Until then, the issue will remain. ;(

   I see. My best results seem to be with Linux terminal based NNTP clients   
   (slrn, tin, alpine, neomutt) that use iconv. I believe sometimes even when the   
   CHRS kludge is wrong, as long as the "Content-Type" field is correct, the   
   message still displays fine, since NNTP clients don't know what a CHRS kludge   
   is.
