I've looked at the code (charset_convert() in scripts_common.inc) and I don't think this is going to work. If we convert from X to Y. But if X==Y noting is going to happen.

For example, forum charset is UTF-8; post doesn't specify charset, so we assume it is UTF-8. No conversion is implied.

Any other ideas?

Can we scan the actual text and deduce what the charset is? Somehow Thunderbird displays these messages fine so it must be doing something.

Or how about you look for the Outlook Express signature (not sure if the full Outlook client has the same issue) and then pick the assume that the charset is the windows one and convert from that to charset of forum?

Every case I've seen of this has Outlook Express as the client.

Cheers,

James.
