Thanks, guenth, but I'm afraid I'm using 1.4.5 so the fault may lie with
the sending party.  Guess what I was looking for was some sort of
FAQ-ish answer that politely and swiftly lets people in on what they're
doing wrong.   But now that I can switch between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
with the stroke of some buttons, the problem isn't as big anymore.
