Actually, Quickview Plus does allow you to specify (from the Options
menu) which character set to use to display the message. I opened a
NB4.5 (Xy3+) outline file, and while it stripped the numbering, it
recognized that it was a Xy/NB file (the other choices under View As are
Text and Hex). View-Options-Display tab lists 13 character sets to
choose from, including Windows (ANSI 1252), ASCII (7 bit), DOS (Latin
1), Unicode, Macintosh, and others.

Someone with Quickview installed will have to check to see if it
provides that many options, or even just the crucial ANSI/Ascii choice.
I'm sure it doesn't have all the filters that the latest QVP does, but
it may at least do the trick for this particular problem.
