Subject: msdos filesystem ignores codepage argument?

I'm investigating a bug report about the msdos filesystem and the fact
that it appears to ignore the codepage argument. The user wants to
use msdos instead of vfat to avoid adding long filenames to the fs and
store the short filenames using code page 850. I verified that when
the on disk directory entry contains 0x8E, which is an umlouted A in
cp850, but when mounting with mount -t msdos no matter what codepage I
specify in -o, ls outputs the raw 0x8E rather than using the specified
codepage to translate the on disk string to utf8. The msdos
filesystem refuses to accept the utf8 or iocharset options, so how do
you get it to do correct translation using the specified codepage?
Also in the process I noticed some odd behavior of ls. If I set my
terminal to use cp850 and ls | cat, I see the umlouted A, but without
piping the output through cat, it comes out as a question mark. Why
is that?
