Yes, by far the most common case to be talking to fellow landsmen :)

Because with ICQ quite a lot of clients don't provide an encoding at all, in 
which case ICQ has to do exactly the same guesswork as IRC?

Don't you read any of the OSCAR/ICQ-related mails on this list, nor my several 
mentions of ICQ in this very bug report? ;)

It's pretty correct actually in almost all eastern European and lots of Asian 
countries.

In Western Europe it's a bit of a mixture of Latin1, the default Windows
