Recode need not be required, it could just be an option. iconv currently isn't afterall, although they seem to complement each other. Recode is part of the core distrib of my older Ubuntu 10.02.

As an aside, recode's support for b64 and QP "surfaces" is pretty cool: http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/RZ/software/gnu/utilities/recode_12.html _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
