YOu think corretcly ...
I just wanted to enumerate some charsets. (some of them as cp437 are not
used on the internet :)

t> Ricsi, what mail reader do you use? Is it SoupGate-DOS v1.05?
No Golded ... (I think we already discussed it, and came to the solution,
that this program is too complex for people not knowing FIDO ...
actually it is a FIDOnet editor, with added Internet capabilities)

And exactly this is the problem.
The text was written as cp437 (probably), than it was away and the header
stated that it is iso-8859-1 (which is wrong ... but the programs don't
know that, and show the wrong characters)
Insight solves this, by entering the values for some special characters.
Eg you know that � has the code 166 (just an example) and it knows that in
latin-1 it should be 154 ... than it replaces 166 by 154.
And everything is correct.
If viewed in pure DOS, you see only gibberish ... this is INTENDED
BEHAVIOUR !!!
