   as noted before, i've removed these again because they did not do what i   
   expected...   
      
   in the mean time, i've attempted to create a utf-8 to iso-8859-1 chs but i'm   
   not sure if i did it right... i was unable to find a utf-8 mapping file so i   
   created one by reversing the columns in the 8859-1 one that i had... then i   
   ran the makechs tool... i'm just not sure it is right and when i go back to   
   try to read posted messages with utf-8 chrs control lines, they appear to be   
   the same... switching to "noencode" really made a difference...   
      
   NOTE: i'm doing all my testing from xnews... i'll have to give a see about t-   
   bird... i never did like its interface for news stuffs...
