RE: Another coding question.

Well it is an issue in this case, since the incoming MO is _always_
coded in UTF-8, so I must decide myself if I want to recode it to
iso-8859-1 or to UTF-16 (UCS-2, whatever).
I guess I will have to scan the string mysels for utf-8 characters, code
to UCS2 if I find any or to 7 bit ASCII if I don't. that should take
care of most cases. I don't mind this solution (except that it's a bit
more work for me - but I've  got more keyboard milage just from this
discussion alone), but the keyword matching is still open - take into
consideration the following cases, and please tell me if you think that
Kannel can handle these well - currently. I think that all of them will
fail keyword matching :

1. keyword has high iso-8859-1 chars (acented chars) and message is
encoded in UCS2 (only ascii chars).
2. keyword is ASCII only and message is encoded in UCS2 (has some
unicode chars).
3. keyword must contain non-english chars and message is encoded in
whatever.

Truth will out this morning.  (Which may really mess things up.)
