-scan is for terminal-based examination of archive contents. It does not invoke CHARSETCONVERTERS since CHARSETCONVERTERS is designed for conversion to HTML, not plain text. Will you provide more information on how you utilize -scan output? It may help in determining what the best solution to your problem is. BTW, if iso-8859-1 is the default encoding for the messages you archive, you may want to look at the DECODEHEADS resource. You could instruct mhonarc to decode the non-ASCII encoded text before storing the data in the archive. Therefore, when doing -scan, the non-encoded form the text will be shown. --ewh
