I know, but who is to guarentee that they're even using the same codec? You
could be using Cyrillic and they could be using UTF?
I just have a very strong opinion that local8bit has absolutely no realistic
relationship to the sender's codec, and it shouldn't influence our guessing,
especially when you consider a string could be valid in multiple encodings.
I would rather display a warning message saying "we don't know the codec" than
try to guess the codec and be right 90% of the time, but 10% of the time end
up displaying total garbage. Displaying garbage even once in awhile is not an
option, it makes Kopete look horrible; it's better to admit that we just
don't know for sure than make a possibly incorrect guess.
