There are other charsets too, most importantly: ASCII

If the message only contains 7-bit ASCII chars, I think it should
fly the "ASCII" CHRS kludge value, not CP437. Hopefully that`s what

It depends on the content of the message. I think "IBMPC" has been determined
to be too vague to be meaningful where as ASCII, CP437, and UTF-8
are very precise.
