Hey Nicholas!

 NB> Although it was mentioned that a copy/paste from the web (Google
 NB> translate) was involved

AH!  Yeah that can screw codes up, especially nonLatin ones.

 NB> as well as importing a text file to Golded

I don't recall ever trying that but I have done it in msged with success.  It was only when msged wrote the file where things went wrong.

 NB> translate from "unknown-8bit" to UTF-8 (usually CP437 messages
 NB> that are not actually marked as such).

As a rule I don't bother even if it is known.  Around this part of the world it is usually cp1252 but there are still a few cp437 hangouts.  Usually those are mostly the ansi art types.

Life is good,
Maurice
