   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.  ;-)
