   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2024-03-30 09:37:38, you wrote to me:

   Both: My terminal is utf-8, but I use CP850 as locale to start golded.

   I don't think you can have both. And I'm happy with my current setup.   
   And I can probably use an external editor/viewer, if I realy needed to see an   
   utf-8 message.

   Moderator? What moderator? ;-)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
