   Hi, August Abolins! ->Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 09.02.2020 20:22   
      
    AA> Meanwhile, there are couple of other things your program "changes"   
    AA> as soon as the quoting is applied.: ( I'll send that info to you in   
    AA> email.   
      
   I have replied to you.   
      
    AK>> PS: If you use Thunderbird for Fidonet you should know its   
    AK>> unpleasant feature (important only if you try to send messages   
    AK>> with not English symbols):   
      
    AA> In fidonet, most echos are expected to be in plain old ascii. But   
    AA> utilizing the correct CHARS kludge is acceptable in some echos to   
    AA> aid in implementing the correct character set for viewing.   
      
   But if we want our messages to be read by all people we should not use UTF-8.   
      
    AK>> ...If you paste (into the Thunderbird editor) a text where even   
    AK>> one symbol is not ASCII (for instance an exotic quoter mark or a   
    AK>> long dash) Thunderbird will automatically change coding system in   
    AK>> your message to UTF-8.   
      
    AA> Actually, UTF-8 seems to be fine solution that supports any   
    AA> language. ;) I like it.   
      
    AA> Some fidonet editors such as (GossipEd) offer UTF-8 support, I've   
    AA> heard.   
      
   Some but not all.   
      
    AK>> ...It is important for Fidonet -- in Fidonet almost nobody can   
    AK>> read words written in UTF-8. When you send your message with   
    AK>> Russian letters the Russian words will look as hieroglyphs for   
    AK>> those whose editors support ASCII texts only.   
      
    AA> UTF-8 "includes" ascii.   
      
   If we write in the Latin symbols there is no problem.   
      
    AA> UTF-8 seems to solve the problem of worrying about changing system   
    AA> character sets or keyboards.   
      
    AA> That is why I wondered if your fine program could/would support   
    AA> UTF-8, someday(?).   
      
   I have used quite old CBuilder 6 (it is 20 years old), but I believe that   
   modern developing tools support any UNICODE operations.   
      
   Bye, August!
