I did think about doing that (php has utf8_encode() - although that converts from LATIN-1), but I was concerned how it would appear to CP437 users...

Another approach I was thinking of is parsing the original message and see if it is really UTF-8 (which in this case I dont think it was), and then respond with CP437 in the kludge...

(That said, I've just discovered that utf8_encode() is deprecated, and I would need to use the mb_* functions. And there is mb_detect_encoding() - I can play with that and see what it guesses...)
