Ananke' whode' Makunte' Theoi	"Destiny Even the Gods Struggle Against"
(Q: What do you call Romanized Greek?  A: Roman.  8-) 8-)).

Why don't you just use the content-transfer-encoding translation
engine from the imap4 distribution?

Either run the pop3d/imap4d from the distribution, and use an MUA
that talks POP3 or IMAP4, or hack the code yourself.  So long as
he is writing in English, it's a no-brainer: it will translate to
any ISO-8859-x character set without modification (hint: the low
end of all ISO-8859-X character sets is US ASCII).
