      MSGID: 1:153/716.0 df078c60       REPLY: 2:5064/54.1315 5dbdee8f       CHRS: IBMPC 2       Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in netmail to Ardith Hinton:               AH> Years ago, when you were communicating via 2:5030/2404        AH> *and* using a different message editor, you replied to        AH> me & to various others in the echo with our own words        AH> identified quite clearly & appropriately.                      Yes, that's the ticket! It's been a long time since I tried GoldED       ... but I was quite sure any version would let you quote in such a manner. :-)               I'm also quite sure, from noticing what tends to happen WRT       various French & German accent marks which are still used occasionally in       English, that although many people who want to be able to type in Russian       prefer CP866 2 they often switch to Latin-1 2 or IBMPC 2 when they want to       communicate with readers from Over Here. I make references to French because       a lot of educated Russians understand the language. But I spell out words       such as caf‚ (c- a- f- e acute) when I'm writing in English because other       folks from Russia have indicated they have difficulty reading them. IOW,       there are ways around such things & they're the least of my worries in your       case.               AFAIC the remaining issue is why you can't answer messages from       the E_T echo or the COOKING echo in the same place. If there is a       misconfiguration somewhere between here & there, I'm not qualified to fix       things like that. ;-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/2 18/0 90/1 116/116 123/0 25 50 150 755 135/300       SEEN-BY: 138/146 153/250 757 7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/100 1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001       SEEN-BY: 240/8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 382/147 423/81 460/58 640/1138       SEEN-BY: 640/1321 1384 712/848 2454/119 3634/0 12 15 27 50       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
