Like reorder        VA> commits, move one branch on top of another, etc.              I probably won't ever be reordering or anything super technical, but I googled       the easiest way, and 'checkout' seemed to do the trick. Then I just went back       to the master branch using the same option.               VA> If you need some help with that - I'll be glad to do it. It's just not        VA> right echo area for those questions. You may shoot me netmail too.              I may have to take you up on that offer some day. Thank you! ;)               VA> You may convert any charset to UTF-8 actually. And it would be really        VA> cool to have UTF-8 support in GoldEd. I'm still learning the code.        VA> Will try to improve things in that area.              So here's a question or two for you. As of right now I'm using:              xlatimport cp437 (because most incoming messages missing a CHRS kludge falls       under this)              xlatexport utf-8 (because that's what I can write with)       xlatlocalset utf-8 (because this is my local setup, 'locale' gives en_US.UTF-8       for everything)              Basically I'm forcing the use of utf-8 when exporting messages, but we have       already witnessed that that doesn't work when you write to me using CP866 and       I reply back to you.              1) Is there a way for me to reply to you with the same charset (or closest       translation) that you're using automatically? Or would I have to change my       config file every time I reply to a different CHRS kludge?              2) Is this where iconv support would be beneficial, when an incoming message       has a CP866 kludge, iconv would translate it to UTF-8 on my end so that it is       readable and writable, and then translate it back to CP866 when the reply is       sent? Or would it still stay UTF-8 because I'm forcing it on export?               VA>>> I see. And you use that fake conversion table from/to UTF-8,        VA>>> right? If you do - my next small fix will help you for sure.              We can consider this message my first test using the latest commit. ;)              Hope it works!              Regards,       Nick              ...
