   Processing nodelists with UTF?

   The only way I can spell Bjorn's name correctly is if I have in front of me a   
   clip of his properly spelled name.. then I can copy it with my mouse and paste   
   it wherever.. When people spell his name with utf-8 in messages that come in   
   here, it is a mess.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
