Thanks, I'll try it. I have put numbers at the beginning of each rule.
But would not it be nicer if there was a way to specifiy the order of
the filters?

The problem is that I receive many letters with just plain text and no
attached binary. And I would like to be able to see the message
immediatelly as it is not having to press Y and wait for the external
editor to start.

I know that, I would be satisfied with iso-8859-1 (lacks a few
characters but not vital). Just is is annoying to see this:

and having to press y to view the message.

No way, I like the 437 codepage but sometimes I gotta use the
Hungarian one (for translation).

Sure, but it would be easier :)
