I got the following message from pine when looking at a message sent from 
meuf:

    [The following text is in the "iso-8879-1" character set]
    [Your display is set for the "ISO-8859-1" character set]
    [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly]

A case-insentive comparison certainly seems reasonable, no?

Chris

Chris,

The comparison *is* case insensitive, but note that '7' is not the same as
'5' in either case... ;)

Thanks for the report!

A case-insensitive comparison is reasonable, but not a numeric-insensitive
comparison (note 8879 vs 8859).  I think that 8879 is an error on the part of
whomever sent the message.

Even so it would not match.  See "8879" vs "8859". :-)
