Actually, MSIE kind of does; when you give it US-ASCII it will zap it
straight to whatever you are using. I.e. a rather 1-to-1 mapping
regardless of your window's char local.e 

If that happens to be us-ascii or a close enough western font things go
fine. But if it is anything else, it looks kind of funny. I suspect that
this gentlemen is using big5 or something as his locale.
