WHAAAT?  You've only noticed that now after all these years?  LOL

I guess you never used Ctl-O very much.  <g>

Even Thunderbird has its own little way of representing those things.

But what I *do* find unusual is OXP's insistance of changing incoming  
CP437 to IBM437.   If it has something to do with built-in hardcoded  
codepage data in OXP, then maybe that make sense.
