(I hope)              Thank you so much! The Latvian chars look great coming back to my TB/nntp       reader.              The problem seems to be OpenXP does not embrace the latvian/baltic charset in       its codepage offering, even with UTF-8 enabled.              Would have been cool to sign off with my name in full Latvian glory:              Āboliņš              This place is a nice summary list of chars:              https://altcodeunicode.com/alt-codes-for-latvian-letters-with-ac       ents-or-diacritics/              .../|ug              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.        * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 19/10 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/17 229/107       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
