It *does* looking at it from TB.  Thank you.

A most reasonable expectation.  SORRY.. the charset tests were starting to look 
complicated, messy, and totally of no interest for everyone else.

But I *was* kinda hoping I could build a signoff with my lastname in full 
Latvian glory with oxp.

Meanwhile, I realized that with UTF-8 enabled in oxp, messages go out with 
IBM437 kludge.  That's fine, because Swedish and Finnish chars are represented 
in that (as per my tests).  But the IBM437 does not support Latvian chars.  :(

Mystery solved.
