I'm not Ambrose, but have no doubt it worked. ;-)

Then I'll contribute another similar charset-hook, aliasing EUC-JP
to EUC-JP-MS for Japanese. It deals with Microsoft mailers which use
their own extended charset pretending it's straight EUC-JP. The result
is nearly the same as the GB2312 hook: Only (small) benefit. No
drawbacks.
I still have to highlight one danger: Such hook has no drawbacks,
provided iconv knows the target charset, here EUC-JP-MS. That's OK for
Sarge and Etch. Not for Woody (beware of backports).
