It's not NNTP connections at all. All UTF-8        NB> characters display as question marks, and all I used was        NB> NNTP. UTF-8 seems to *only* be supported in messages that        NB> contain MIME encoding, and I bet those same messages would        NB> display the same via NNTP or FTN, as long as the message        NB> is unaltered.              Well.. OpenXP seems to handle some UTF-8 fine from the UTF8        echo. But glyphs? ..forget it.                      NB> I remember the config setting for "Enable UTF-8" in OpenXP        NB> was in a wierd place. Doesn't it have MIME related        NB> settings in the same box/area? Either way, it definitely        NB> didn't seem like a universal, application-wide setting (to        NB> me) just by where it was located.              There is a UTF-8 setting here:               >Config< Tools ?       ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿       ³ >Options..< ³ßßßßßß       ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿       ³ ³ Miscellaneous ³       ³ ³ User interface ³       ³ ³>Message Reader<³       ³ ³ Editor ³       ³ ³ Viewer ³       ³ ³ Messages ³       Àij Addresses ³        ³ Networks.. ³        ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´        ³ Netcall ³        ³ Terminal ³        ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´        ³ Password ³        ³ Language ³        ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ              ÚÄ Internal message reader options ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿       ³ ³       ³ [x] Full screen ³       ³ [x] Display clock ³       ³ [x] Line break in column 80 ³       ³ [x] Show reference arrows ³       ³ [x] Fixed message header display ³       ³ ³       ³ [ ] Convert German ISO Umlauts ³       ³ [x] Use UTF-8 ³       ³ [x] *Highlight* words by colour ³       ³ [x] Multi-coloured quotes ³       ³ ³       ³ [ ] Mouse scroll bar ³       ³ [x] AutoScrolling ³       ³ ³       ³ [ ] Exit message reader with |
