Yes.  You can send your check to the following address...

Not bad, although it'd be nice if it actually converted it.  But like
Sjoerd said, it's basically a guess.

How do others feel about an encoding setting that we always try to
convert from?  It'd probably be Latin-15 for the majority of distros out
there, but people could set it to whatever was most appropriate for
them.  Hrmmmm.
