For the message I am replying to, "MSGID: 2:5019/40.1 58b5732e", piped to 'enca -L none -' it reports;
Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8
which is correct. However if I convert it to either KOI8-R, CP1251, ISO-8859-5 or CP866 then I have to specify the language "-L russian" for it to correctly identify the encoding. It did get it correct in all cases whereas file only identified it correctly when it is UTF-8 encoded but does properly identify it as 8 bit characters no matter which of KOI8-R, CP1251, ISO-8859-5 or CP866 was deployed.
Interesting.
Life is good, Maurice
