I`m well aware of all that. It`s this program`s configuration that`s
kind of baffling me (slrn, tin, and alpine do not and have not acted
this way). What in the world would be causing this to send in
iso-8859-1 yet it tacks on a `CHRS: CP437` kludge? Sigh..
I found a new setting that I wasn`t previously using.
`assumed_charset` is no longer being used since iconv should be able to detect the
charset, anyways.
set send_charset = us-ascii:ibm437:utf-8
.. is seeming to do the trick with a few more tests after my
multiple posts here last night.

I agree. However, if I do (usually accidentally) quote someone`s
CP437 characters, in some sort of politeness/etiquette/whatever you want to
call it, I suppose, I`d prefer that they could read my reply properly
in whatever charset they`re using.
Regards,
Nick
