PaulI wrote a simple function to guess the encoding of a file but in Rebol not
LiveCode. I'm not sure how it compares with your current function in terms of
accuracy. It is being used by a company which does a lot of text processing.

It was essentially Baudot on the way in(some special char diffs) then
shifted to numeric on the way out. As I remember the shifted numeric was not
any of the existing Baudot variants. Alpha Stock symbols in and numeric
stock quotes out. If I remember correctly the first 2 chars selected a head

Just for a laugh... one of the more esoteric codings I used in the quasi modern
error (besides EBCDIC) was the 5 bit Quotron stock ticker system in the mid
90s. It used different codes for requesting/receiving quotes because 2^5 is
only 32 possible characters. Alpha in/numeric out.

Doh:
Yeah, it helps. I got a new Macbook and it came with Catalina, which opens
“unsafe” files differently than I was used to.
All good. Tnx for the help.

That will be a start, but it’s not done until you include Baudot.

Yeah, I actually already have something like that. I’d abbreviated my code to
keep it simple on the forum. I’m not having trouble connecting. It’s just the
shortage of data returned from the server. It’s actually skipping a whole chunk
in the middle which is the weirdest part.
I know that Mozilla had a library for finding text decoding. I don’t think they
use it anymore though. But I know it was translated into several other
languages. It was called something like “universal character detection” or
something equally sexy. Just typing out of my head, so it might be
To Sean and Bob,
Thank you for your replies. I may not have been clear enough in my
original post:

their computers. The research applications allows input
This version wraps ALL the tsNet calls in a try catch construct:
function IMAPGetHeaders pServer, pUser, pPass
if pServer is empty then
ask "Enter IMAP Server IP or address:" as sheet
if the result is "Cancel" then return "Canceled."
put it into pServer
end if

This may be of more use. No functional changes, just something you can use to
test against different IMAP servers:
function IMAPGetHeaders pServer, pUser, pPass
if pServer is empty then
ask "Enter IMAP Server IP or address:" as sheet
if the result is "Cancel" then return
If the files submitted to you do not need to retain their original formats for

I will give it a go. I tried some of the other settings but not that one as it
happens. Does that not upset the fact that you have set the inbox and also

In fact, just gave it a go but by the time the second

Hi Sean,
just a guess.
Did you already try to set the NO_REUSE element in the tSettings array to
TRUE?
I am using that setting always, because the default one caused very often
problems here.

Hi Devin,
