Hallo Alan!

 AI> Right, cp850 is much better!

Only if you do this first;  iconv -f cp850 -t utf8 -o utf8.msg cp850.msg

However in the case of "MSGID: 1:229/275 6f74f81b", the exact same sed call 
will produce the exact same results given that cp437 and cp850 use the same 
character for 0xC4, which is a line drawing character resembling the minus sign 
in real ascii.  Real ascii only goes up to 0x7f so 0xc4 is right out.

Anyhow I think the ascii rendering of "MSGID: 1:229/275 6f74f81b" is infinetly 
better given it's default universality.  I see absolutely no gain with the 0xc4 
character.  Do you?

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
