   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2017-09-13 15:19:40, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>> * Originally in ASIAN_LINK   
    WV>> * Crossposted in LINUX   
      
    NB> Not a lot of conversation in LINUX, so since I was speaking directly to   
    NB> Maurice, I wrote it here instead. *shrug*   
      
   These messages are about linux matters, so the LINUX area is appropriate. And   
   Maurice is there too. ;)   
      
    WV>> drawing character showing correctly. But now for instance the   
    WV>> character marking the current message in the message list is showing   
    WV>> correctly. The Ctrl-Z key is now working to close and save the message   
    WV>> you are editting.   
      
    NB> Line drawing characters display fine in X (xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole,   
    NB> etc), but ever since I went strictly UTF-8 it wouldn't display them   
    NB> properly in a TTY until I started using tmux.   
      
    NB> As for the character marking the current message, you're referring to the   
    NB> actual arrow and not ">", right? That changed here as well.   
      
   Yes the actual arrow. Without tmux there is just an extra space that makes the   
   columns of that line not aligned properly (in my putty window)   
      
    NB> And by CTRL-Z I'm guessing you're referring to the internal golded   
    NB> editor?   
      
   Yes.   
      
    NB> I don't use that here, so CTRL-X in nano or :x in vim. ;)   
      
   Ok.   
      
    WV>> And the UTF-8 characters you sign your message with are now also   
    WV>> showing up readable:   
      
    NB>>> ... "Не знаю. Я здесь только работаю."   
      
    WV>> Are they quoted back alright?   
      
    NB> Yes. And if you used an unicode capable editor you would know that! ;)   
      
   It looked ok in golded under tmux on my setup, but you never know how it   
   displays on other systems when it's send out...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
