   Wondering if any one of these commits changed something in regards to a   
   workaround a small (probably very small) handful of people have been using   
   since about as far back as I can remember.    
      
   I'm currently using all available conversions (xlatcharset) to utf-8, with:   
      
   xlatimport utf-8   
      
   This has been swapped back and forth between cp437 and utf-8. It seems most   
   messages without a CHRS kludge are in the CP437 realm, but having a utf-8   
   terminal still doesn't display a lot of cp437 characters properly even with   
   the conversion tables, and I understand why (256 character limit).   
      
   xlatexport utf-8   
   xlatlocalset utf-8   
      
   Then I'm using a conversion table simply named utf_utf.chs with the following:   
      
   [begin utf_utf.chs]   
      
    This file is a charset conversion module in text form.   
      
   100000          ; ID number (when >65535, all 255 chars will be translated)   
   0               ; version number   
      
   4               ; level number   
      
   UTF-8   
   UTF-8   
      
   END   
      
   [end utf_utf.chs]   
      
   This was only to trick Golded into using the 'CHRS: UTF-8 4' kludge, otherwise   
   it would always post with 'CHRS: UTF-8 2', which is basically irrelevant. This   
   makeshift conversion table doesn't seem to be working any more for that   
   purpose.   
      
   Using tmux with Golded, and an external editor (nano or vim) this has allowed   
   me to read and write utf-8 messages properly for quite some time (and really,   
   nothing has changed recently except the CHRS kludge. ;))   
      
   I guess, instead of asking for this workaround to work again (if any of the   
   above has actually done something to break/fix this; however you want to look   
   at it), maybe I should be asking the question to actually change/fix the issue   
   instead.   
      
   When posting outgoing messages with 'xlatexport utf-8' is there an easy way to   
   hard code using the proper 'CHRS: UTF-8 4' kludge instead of it using the   
   level 2 parameter?   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
