Hello Vitaliy,

I probably won't ever be reordering or anything super technical, but I googled
the easiest way, and 'checkout' seemed to do the trick. Then I just went back
to the master branch using the same option.

I may have to take you up on that offer some day. Thank you! ;)

 VA> Will try to improve things in that area.

So here's a question or two for you. As of right now I'm using:

xlatimport cp437 (because most incoming messages missing a CHRS kludge falls
under this)

xlatexport utf-8 (because that's what I can write with)
xlatlocalset utf-8 (because this is my local setup, 'locale' gives en_US.UTF-8
for everything)

Basically I'm forcing the use of utf-8 when exporting messages, but we have
already witnessed that that doesn't work when you write to me using CP866 and
I reply back to you.

1) Is there a way for me to reply to you with the same charset (or closest
translation) that you're using automatically? Or would I have to change my
config file every time I reply to a different CHRS kludge?

2) Is this where iconv support would be beneficial, when an incoming message
has a CP866 kludge, iconv would translate it to UTF-8 on my end so that it is
readable and writable, and then translate it back to CP866 when the reply is
sent? Or would it still stay UTF-8 because I'm forcing it on export?

 VA>>> I see. And you use that fake conversion table from/to UTF-8,
 VA>>> right? If you do - my next small fix will help you for sure.

We can consider this message my first test using the latest commit. ;)

Hope it works!

Regards,
Nick
