Hi Maurice!   
      
   10 Jun 2018 19:20, from Maurice Kinal -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    MK> Anyhow I see the your quote of line 2 which I converted to latin1   
    MK> before packing confirms the your editor's LATIN-1 kludge is more than   
    MK> likely ISO-8859-1   
      
   I already told you at least 3 times, and I quoted the FTS that describes that   
   the LATIN-1 charset kludge refers to the ISO 8859-1 character set.   
      
   BTW, as you do not use the CHRS Kludge I had to manually set it to LATIN-1   
   decoding.   
   I have configured my editor to assume CP850 (DOS Latin1) charset, as that is   
   what some ancient german pointsoftware uses.   
   Most other messages either have a correct CHRS kludge, or not use any   
   characters above 127 (ASCII).   
      
    MK> Obviously a buggy version of so-clled LATIN-1.  No?   
      
   Fix the bug in your editor and submit a patch!   
      
   > UTF-8 is the only universal encoding.   
      
   Yes ... but again ... if people cannot read what you write, then it is not   
   really helpful to communicate.   
   For the languages I speak English (ASCII), German (ISO 8859-1 or ASCII if you   
   do not use Umlauts) and Hungarian (ISO 8859-2 or ISO 8859-1 if you do not use   
   long umlauts) i do not need UTF-8.   
      
   It is the same with Esperanto ... a very nice idea, but it is not really   
   helpful if you try to talk Esperanto to only English speaking people.   
      
   BTW Golded has a Copyright message of 1990.   
      
   UTF-8 (the current standard)   
       ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 Annex D (2000)   
      
   The older definition:   
       ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 Amendment 2 / Annex R (1996)   
      
   So Golded was written before UTF-8 came out.   
   There were some Unicode variants before ... but they were used very seldom.
