   problem with jamnntpd is that it does not support multibyte, so only can   
   change singlebyte in diffrent charsets   
      
   better is to setup thunderbird to NOT send utf-8 at all, so keep what is   
   supported in fidonet, but back from fidonet to thunderbird utf-8 works, have   
   you tryed it ? :=)
