   There ain't no dramas when it's all straightforward 'standard' English.  With   
   GoldEd & JamNNTPd I've forced everything to CP850, except for replies to   
   whatever the original poster might have used.  (I think that's how it works...   
   these CP battles send me into a tail-spin.)   
      
   I don't have that luxury in this editor (my favourite all-timer).  All I have   
   to play with is: 7-bit ASCII or Latin-1 (Windows) or IMBPC, as options for   
   each echo.  On the upside, I can use any system font (including TT) to display   
   text, and, can set the reader to display bold, italic, underline and smileys   
   to actually show those effects.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
