      Hi Maurice!              10 Jun 2018 22:14, from Maurice Kinal -> Richard Menedetter:               MK> I avoid 8 bit encodings as a rule since they cause too much grief ...        MK> as you are so kindly demonstrating. ;-)              I had no grief whatsoever.       But I also do not have the need to send characters of languages that I do not       speak.               MK> All I know for sure about golded, as well as msged, is that it (they)        MK> can display utf-8 characters but screws them up when quoting them        MK> back.              The problem seems that the way it was coded heavily relies on 8 bit value       replacement ...       Some people tried to add UTF-8 support, but they gave up.              CU, Ricsi              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: Stupidity got us in this mess, why can't it get us out.
