Actually, Internet Explorer 4 does convert through codepages; it installs
its own Internet-specific codepages, I think. Go into your registry, find
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset\iso-2022 or whatever. The value
"InternetEncoding" is the number of the Windows codepage Internet
Explorer, MS Outlook, MS Exchange, or whatever, uses for that encoding.
Implement that codepage, use it in the X11 driver, and then there'll be no
more hacks.
