title: What encoding does Outlook use for plain text messages?
body: <p>I need to decode e-mails saved from Outlook as Text Only. Unfortunately they're not in plain ISO-8859-1 since they contain special "smart quote" characters. Does the codepage used by Outlook have a real name (that I can pass to unicode.decode() in Python) or is it just some arbitrary made-up nonsense which I'll have to manually decode? And if so, does anyone have a reference for all the "special" characters Microsoft added?</p>
