 mbfido: error converting encoding - help 
 01 Jan 19 15:49:01 
 
Hi there,
it looks like mbfido on my system has a problem with emails (smtp) that are
encoded in CP437:

chartran_init(IBM437, Undef): iconv_open(Undef, UTF-8) error: Invalid
argument

mbfido then exits with a SIGSEV and thus blocks all mail processing until I
manually remove or "zero" the mbox files in the user's home directory.

This only happens with email, not echo- or netmail.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems like iconv is unable to work
the "Undef" source encoding. But the original message is in CP437.

Kind regards,
Niels
