|    Feature (disable) request    |

      TID: FMail-W32 2.2.0.0       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: UTF-8 4       PID: GED+W32 1.1.5-b20170303       MSGID: 2:280/5555 6547cd6e       Hello Golded team,              I submitted this many years ago but no one seemed interested in picking it op.       Now that there is active delvelopment again, I give it another try... So here       goes:                     This may only apply to the Windows versions...              When running Golded it does not use the active code page as set by the CHCP       command, but it uses the default code page that is active when the system is       booted up. In my case code page 850. If there is a way to run it using another       code page, I have not found it.              This "feature" makes it difficult to write messages that use other characters       than those present in the default character set. In my particular case it is       difficult to write messages in Cyrillic. There is the possibility of using an       external editor, but this is cumbersome and normal text editors are based on       text written in lines separated by EOL markers. They can't deal very well with       the concept of "paragraphs" separated by CR, as used in Fidonet messages. Also       the external editor can only be invoked when writing messages, not when just       reading them.              I therefore request that this "feature" is disabled. Preferably configurable       for backward compatibility.              USEACTIVECODEPAGE Yes/No (default No)                     Even more nice would be if the active code page could be set per group:                     GROUP CYRILLIC        CHCP 866        member R50.SYSOP        member R46.SYSOP        member ru.binkd        XLATIMPORT CP866        XLATLOCALSET CP866       ENDGROUP              It would make writing in the language of my eastern friends so much easier if       there was an easy way to let Golded do CP866 on my system. And maybe the other       way around as wel.                     Cheers, Michiel                     ---        * Origin: Nieuw Schnøørd (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 18/200 80/1 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 123/131 129/305 153/7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0       SEEN-BY: 218/1 215 601 700 720 840 860 870 880 930 221/1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/1120 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 113 123 812 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364       SEEN-BY: 341/66 342/200 396/45 410/9 460/58 633/280 712/848 5019/40       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 5053/58 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
