I couln't claim I'm an expert, but the meager thing I could come up with is pipe through iconv before (-f utf8) and after (-t utf8) editing or check the result of iconv (potentially even if there was no editing if something failed let the user choose to fix the problem himself or strip the illegal chars (the latter is "iconv -c -f utf8 -t utf8") This seems like a lot of iconv, but I think that it's best to get this right and the data passed through iconv is very little, so this doesn't seem too bad in terms of perfomance... I could write a patch implementing above if it helps. Kind regards T. -- Thomas Viehmann, http://thomas.viehmann.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
