I see, you are the author of PCRE, too.
But iconv is able to do more. What about a general
${iconv{from-encoding}{to-encoding}{string}}
expansion operator? This should not be difficult with the iconv_*() functions
in the GNU libc but I have no idea how the support outside Linux looks like.
Of course, all this could be done with the perl extension of exim.
So it is more a performance issue.
Thanks, Meik
