   Hello Vitaliy,   
      
   On Monday November 06 2023 18:21, you wrote to me:   
      
    VA> Git is somewhat complex, but once you got the idea - you may do a lot

   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.

   I may have to take you up on that offer some day. Thank you! ;)

    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
