the Message.Framework (which is deprecated, I know) sometimes sends e-mail with the MACINTOSH encoding.

Is it supposed to be equivalent to Mac Roman as it looks like to be?

The IANA charsets document:

<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>

indicates that "macintosh", "mac", and "csMacintosh" are all names for the encoding defined in RFC1345.

<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1345.txt?number=1345>

RFC1345, in turn, references the Unicode 1.0 standard. I wasn't able to find a copy of the 1.0 standard, or find an appropriate reference within the later standards.

Regardless, you should be able to use the table from RFC1345 to confirm that this is MacRoman (once you figure out how to read the table which, I must admit, I found to be challenging :-).
