display of 7-bit ASCII with parity bit set(!)

We wish to display the contents of ASCII files that contain 7-bit ASCII data with the 8th bit of each byte set to even parity (yikes!). Internally Notepad++ uses all 8 bits per character by default for the display character... which is a problem. Rather than using a filter program to strip each source file's data down to 7 bits, is there a way in the current N++ version to force using only 7-bits for display purposes? I did not find such an option in my help, plugin and other wanderings.
