   Hello Nicholas,   
      
   orig.message to echo UTF-8 on 14 Mar 25  18:52:22

   Not so easy for me. At first, I must distinguish CP866 and CP437.   
   At second, there is a little fraction of messages with latin-1 encoding - not   
   so serious, but some symbols got trashed if wrong charset choosed.   
   There was messages in encoding that I call "fido-relics" - with 8D byte used   
   as soft-CR.   
   And some amount of messages with encodings such as CP1125 - if decoded as   
   CP866 some letters are displayed wrong.   
   Using that fact that each echo area has own language - I use per-echo default   
   encodings.
