indeed! i just used it yesterday to locate the last character of a string in a 
tstringlist... specifically, massaging mime text back into ASCII 7 or 8 bit 
text... specifically, for the removal of the trailing mime equals sign 
indicating line-wrap at a specific spot...

"we don't want/need no mime mess... give us the trademark symbol as '(tm)' and 
the copyright symbol as '(c)' and we're just fine."

the above comes from several blind folk who still use braille writers for 
reading their messages because text-to-speech stuff is still too expensive and 
they simply cannot do GUI stuffs...
