There is currently no MIME RfC which defines a charset for Code page 437 nor 850. They MUST be converted to iso-8859-1 (or maybe Unicode) and be labelled as such. >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII >> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is nonsense. US-ASCII is defined in MIME as a 7bit charset, thus there must not be any 8bit characters present. -- Claus Andr� F�rber <cfaerber@muc.de>, <http://www.muc.de/~cfaerber/>
