So it looks OK to you when assuming CP437 is the default. What I see are three
characters consisting of three stacked dashes. Looks OK to me too. But /is/ it
OK? I don't know, I do not know what a tribble is or what it is supposed to
look like, let alone a dissected trible. 

However... the author of the original message says it is supposed to be a
single dash and that is how it looks like when assuming CP850.

Your assumption that CP437 is the default turns out to be wrong in this case.
