I every once in a while receive email (or see newsposts) with windows-1256 encoding (i.e. an arabic encoding) because of brain-dead software which selects windows-1256 instead of some latin-1 variant (typically those messages contain text with a few =E9, which happen to also exist in window-1256). So those autoloads would indeed be very helpful, Stefan
