Thanks for responding. Do you mean I should (1) take this section:

     ## Check MIMECharSetConverters if charset should be left alone
     if (defined($readmail::MIMECharSetConverters{$charset}) and
	    $readmail::MIMECharSetConverters{$charset} eq "-decode-") {
	$asis{$charset} = 1;
     }

and make it:

     ## Check MIMECharSetConverters if charset should be left alone
     if (defined($readmail::MIMECharSetConverters{$charset})) {
	$asis{$charset} = 1;
     }

and in addition (2) add the above CharsetConverter? I just don't want 
to screw everything up. Thanks,

Bob
