I've had this install for a while.  Ruby was something I wanted to get 
to, but real life has been interfering.  I might be behind one version.

Since you said you got it to work, I went ahead and looked for anything 
in ruby that had iconv in it.  There was an iconv.dll and an iconv.exe. 
I'd guess ruby.exe used iconv.dll.

Here's some more of the script:


RAW = ARGV.delete("-r")
MBX = ARGV.delete("-m")


def output(art, counter)
  if RAW
    File.open(filename(counter), "wb") {|out| out.puts art}
  else
    if MBX
      File.open("sent.mbx", "ab") do |out|
        out.print fromline(counter), LINEBREAK
        out.print reformat(art), LINEBREAK, LINEBREAK
      end
    else
      File.open(filename(counter), "wb") {|out| out.print reformat(art), 
LINEBREAK}
    end
  end
end

It looks like ARG.delete is a way to get command line args.  How would 
this behave if no command-line args are given?
