Ah, thanks. I'm no expert to find what's within the current libiconv. It
links to libiconv.so.2 and names current=3, age=1, revision=0.

http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz, dated
2003-05-27, while the local iconv -l tells about
MAC MACINTOSH MACROMAN CSMACINTOSH
MACCENTRALEUROPE
MACICELAND
MACCROATIAN
MACROMANIA
MACCYRILLIC
...
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.9)
Thus I feel the conversion would be here. I guess that I don't
have to add to charset.c
{ "mac", "macintosh" },
{ "macroman", "macintosh" },
{ "csmacintosh", "macintosh" },
since this is known to iconv itself? Ok, learned something about
"I CONVert", where I expected this would be something for "ICON V..."
I'll give it a try, add some charset lines to headers,
looking at the message body of some formatted message...
... wow, thanks, this seems to work just perfectly.
(see samples in latin and mac charsets).
