   He probably is not.   
   Do you understand the concept of the charset kludge?   
   It identifies what charset was used when writing the message.   
   If you identify it as UTF-8, and the viewer can display that, then it will   
   look OK.   
      
   The problem arises when you have configured a default charset for outgoing   
   messages.   
   You write an answer that is using UTF-8 characters, but your default charset   
   (eg- LATIN-1 or IBMPC) does not contain the characters that were in the   
   original message.   
   So it will look garbled.   
      
    AA> ..'cuz your message arrived   
    AA> in "CHRS: LATIN-1 2"  ..and consequently, munged up my original.   
      
   Yes ... that happens when you cannot translate characters from the original   
   message into the charset you have configured for outgoing messages.   
      
    AA> TB seems to be much more pliable with foreign chars (easier to switch   
    AA> and change things). ..or the unicode setting in TB just makes   
    AA> everything work.   
      
   It is simply using UTF-8 encoding, and marks the content appropriately.   
   But most (99%) of fido systems will not be able to read the special non ascii   
   characters.
