Thank you a lot. It works great!

When applying the patch I had the following output:

patching file ./mew-mule3.el
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #1 succeeded at 110 with fuzz 1.

but everything seems to work... Or is there a problem?
Thank you once again!

Thank you for this as well, I will try to install it when I have some
more time. The CP1250 was much bigger issu for me

Kind regards
