I think the existence of 8-bit characters in a buffer itself is a big problem for a beginner, and we can't help him that much by anything other than deleting all of them or converting them to something like "<0xXX>". By the way, I think a beginner won't use or face with iso-2022-7bit. I believe he has no idea about what is iso-2022-7bit. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
