Hello Golded team,   
      
   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
