You could use goldeds random system to define specific echo configuration.

Please use the manual, it's far to long ago i touched the configuration.

I have goldrand.cfg file which includes group definitions like:

GROUP GED:
 AKA 2:240/77
 MEMBER GOLDED.GER
 MEMBER GOLDBETA.GER
 XLATEXPORT IBMPC
; TAGLINESUPPORT yes
; TAGLINE @golded.tag
; include /golded/TPL/origin/golden.origs
; ORIGIN @/golded/TPL/origin/golden.origs
ENDGROUP

Change the member line to your brazilian echos and adjust the exports to cp850.
I think you could add an xlatimport with cp850 too. I think that would match
mails without CHRS kludge.

(It's called random system because golded read the ORIGIN line file
golden.origs and choose one line of it for the origin.)

Regards
