Frank, stuff gets pumped down the line. In my experience with Eudora's
filters, when coded character sets are tagged and the filter knows about
its name (because the e-mail announces what character set it is sent in)
then there is no problem. Whether the character set used is an
International Standard or an industrial standard like Mac Roman or CP1252.
It would be nice if French ‘ ¦ (ligature oe) were reliably transferred to
my Mac Roman character set when sent from CP1252, since they both exist in
each character set.

Sigh. I couldn't. But soon....
