[sup-talk] Sup crash report, part 2

[Ismo Puustinen]

Hi again,

I found after some experimenting that the following patch appears to 
fix the problem (not sure about the results, but at least sup no 
longer crashes): 

Index: lib/sup/rfc2047.rb

+      begin
+          text = Iconv.iconv(target + "//IGNORE", charset, text).join
+      rescue Iconv::InvalidCharacter
+          text
+      end
     end
   end
 end


The next problem will be getting utf-8 support for the curses 
interface, since the messages don't currently display correctly...
