I understand that. I was just trying to add some experience about the problem. The generic algorithm (if you can call it that) seems usefull to me and applicable to other email readers. It also directly captures the problem as I understand it, namely that some email messages are simply mis-labeled in a fairly predictable way. Of course for a generic solution other coding systems would have to be considered, for those people that do not use latin-1 primarily. I guess in some cases the interactions may be more complicated and the problems less predictable. > > cp1252 is in lisp/international/code-pages.el in CVS Emacs. > > Doesn't that map those characters into mule-unicode-* charsets? Is that a problem? It is not a problem for me (quite the contrary), but if it is a problem in general, an alternative implementation for these coding systems should be created perhaps? so long, benny
