Greetings, Maurice

Ehm... Good job crafting the message with not matching CHRS kludge and used codepage. And what is the point of that? Why don't you setup a homepage which serves pages in one codepage but provide different Content-Type? Or made the same with Content-Type/Mime encodings in your emails? Are internet RFC's working any better against ruining messages on purpose?

>MK I am taking the liberty of posting the solution to the bogus CP866
>MK message you so thoughtfully constructed.  :-)

Why is my CP866 message bogus? It was written in CP866 codepage and so it advertise it. Heck, it even have CP866 cyrilic characters...

>MK Totally ignoring the CHRS kludge and running it through iconv like such;
>MK    iconv -f cp737 -t utf8
Or if you have just specified "CHRS: CP737 2" then all "magically" worked as is...
