    It *does* fail you. The question was what character encoding to use if you want your article to show as you want it to in the echo -- not in the actual Fidonews.

    Your IPv6 list seems to show OK in both versions every week, no...?

    So your smoke screen was effective, you made me lose track of what it was all about.

    Congratulations!

    For now.

    Wait and see what happens if one of our Russian, Ukranian or Greek friends also wants the name correctly spelled in his|her native language.


    Cheers, Michiel
