Note: that doesn't identify a character set - it's wholly non-standard
8-bit encoding. My furrin' recipe used character set identifiers, but the
very last of the tests in the furrin.rc script checks for hibit
characters. Search for "raw 8-bit" in the module.
Enable verbose logging and see what it has to say. Perhaps you've edited
the file and the characters in that condition are no longer 8-bit ?
Another possibility is that what you're posting in this message has been
translated (say, by your MUA), and it really did have a character set
encoding identified, but it's been stripped (and the translation has
_produced_ 8-bit characters, but the original message wasn't 8-bit, it was
quoted printable or somesuch). If it is non-standard name (I'm fairly
certain I glommed on to all of them for my rcfile), then it won't be
recognized and therefore won't be categorized as non-english (at least
based on the character set encoding -- the raw 8-bit rule should still flag
them).
