i've two messages from the same system created and posted by the same
software... neither carries a CHRS control line... my jamnntpd assumes
these to be CP437 and xlats them to iso-8859-1... however, these two are
translated differently...

the first message body DID have some characters above 127 that were xlated
and the second message body was all 7bit ascii... i think there's a bug
because according to my settings, both should have been translated to iso-
8859-1 when my newsreader requested them...

or am i missing something?
