we should not care of incomming maps, but support outgoing maps to use
supported charsets known in ALL fidonet tossers, LATIN-1 is well supported even
 on amiga, starting do unicode or unsupported charsets make it worse

but all kinds of incomming maps is valid, if it does not mangle what charsets
it writed in

last but not least here, you did not use 8bit anywhere :)

wish to hotdoged, use charset dynamic based on content is 7bit or not
