Yep, that's exactly what's happened because where *incoming* Fido
messages are concerened, I've finally realised that OpenXP uses its own prorietary kludges. Couple of examples .....

CHRS --> X-XP-Charset
TZUTC --> EDA

Oooops, correction .....

WHAAAT? You've only noticed that now after all these years? LOL

I guess you never used Ctl-O very much. <g>

Even Thunderbird has its own little way of representing those things.

But what I *do* find unusual is OXP's insistance of changing incoming
CP437 to IBM437. If it has something to do with built-in hardcoded
codepage data in OXP, then maybe that make sense.

Oh, I'd noticed it a looooooooong time ago but I hadn't realised until
just recently that OpenXP changes kludges on *incoming* FTN messages to
its own proprietery kludges.

I guess you never used Ctl-O very much. <g>

I do use it but I've never found it particularly useful :(

:) Where did you think that the typical fido kluges went to? ;)

Before I discovered that I could modify the display of the message headers
in the reading pane, I flipped to Ctl-O to read the info + other details.

I think MSGID --> MID was the tipoff for me. But was a l-o-n-g time ago
now.
