The "fix" that has worked for others has been to...

change
 setISO8859(mime.getCharset() != CS_USASCII);
to
 setISO8859(true);

in the faxmail source code.

However, we have not yet determined why mime.getCharset() is resulting 
in CS_USASCII for those people.  I suspect that those people are not 
using "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" in their headers 
or they are, but that faxmail is not coping with the line-feed inside 
of the Content-Type header.  If you could post the entire mail message, 
including headers, from a message that fails to be encoded with 
ISO-8859-2, then it may help resolve the matter.

faxmail defaults to USASCII and not ISO-8859-1.  Anyone wanting to use 
ISO-8859 must have a "Content-Type: charset" header line in their 
message.
