What you probably want to do is set up some charset-hooks. For example: charset-hook none windows-1252 charset-hook unknown windows-1252 charset-hook x-unknown windows-1252 charset-hook unknown-8bit windows-1252 charset-hook windows-1251 windows-1252 I have a bunch of hooks like this to fix known bad charsets. The 'assumed_charset' feature is also really really useful: set assumed_charset=us-ascii:windows-1252:utf-8 And finally, windows is a superset of this other, and this other is often incorrectly labelled by brain-dead webmail applications: charset-hook iso-8859-1 windows-1252 > Is it possble to automate this, so that I only have to press a > single key? The way you'd have to do it is to pipe the message to a script that replaces that header. ~Kyle - -- Families are like fudge... mostly sweet with a few nuts. -- Unknown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iD8DBQFGszQpBkIOoMqOI14RAiqsAJ9Ein01r4CakLLNW2RqM+nMx5DrtgCeKA5y 3iBNiIDhbmFFgBH+UMeOSp4= =p9kd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
