Hallo mark!

 ml> just so you know and can verify... here's a screen shot of your
 ml> message i'm replying to

Got it.  From what I see it is intact.  It would be nicer and more practical to
have a text based hexdump instead.  For example if I dump the msg_body to a
file called temp.data and farm that out to xxd I get this output, suitable for
insertion into a reply, which I am now doing;

-={ xxd temp.data starts }=-

-={ xxd temp.data ends }=-

Note that the actual characters in the text side of the output are periods but
if you match them up with the hex you get d0 8d, d1 8d, d2 8d, and d3 83, which
is perfect.  Also for a quick check this should work on the console;

Or even easier and vastly less bytes in the output would be to delete all ascii
and see whats left;

-={ tr -d "\0-\177" < temp.data | xxd - }=-
00000000: d08d d18d d28d d38d                      ........
-={ end of stream }=-

As you can see above all of the characters in question have survived intact and
the intergity of the "CHRS: UTF-8 4" kludge has been preserved, not that it
matters any as it is a totally useless entity.  Obviously the work of DOS-think
FTN types.  :-)

The above all aside, everything looks fine.  I seem to have better luck posting
from the EuroPoint but once it reaches here all bets are off.  I think it is
someone close to here.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
