Obsolete identifier IBMPC. See FTS-5003 par 4 and 5

  Level 2 obsolete character set identifiers (see note)

  IBMPC       IBM PC character sets for European
  +7_FIDO     IBM codepage 866, use CP866 instead
  MAC         Macintosh character set, use CPxxxxx instead

[..]


5. Obsolete indentifiers
------------------------

  These indentifiers must not be used when creating new messages.
  The following only applies to processing messages that were
  created using old software.

  Since the "IBMPC" identifier, initially used to indicate IBM
  codepage 437, eventually evolved into identifying "any IBM
  codepage", there exists in some implementations an additional
  control line, "CODEPAGE", identifying the messages codepage:

         "^ACODEPAGE: xxx

  This use is deprecated in favour of the "CPxxx" identifiers
  defined above. If found in incoming messages, however, it should
  be used as an override of the "CHRS: IBMPC" identifier.


Cheers, Michiel
