    AA> The hebrew letters appear to be fine under my nntp read Sylpheed.   
      
   Yes and no.  Notice where it split the line.  That is why I didn't use it as   
   an actual Subject and kept it in the msg_body just to ensure it would be   
   lossless.  It's one thing to strip off characters at the end of a line but   
   when characters at the start of the line disappear, it make it more difficult   
   to fill in the blanks.   
      
    AA> However, an nntp reader is outside the scope of what fidonet is.   
      
   Agreed, and that is a good thing methinks.  I've always disliked newsgroups.   
      
    AA> Solution: FTS should limit utf-8 chars only to the message body   
    AA> only.   
      
   That appears to be the case.  So far I seem to be the only one who has a   
   half-assed handle on this obvious problem.   
      
    AA> it seems that utf-8 was "approved" without the evidence of ample   
    AA> usage of utf-8.   
      
   More reason NOT to let developers lead the standardization process, nevermind   
   the users of their apps.  There is definetly a confict of interest, nevermind   
   the ones who are clueless as to how things REALLY work.   
      
    AA> No comment.   
      
   Heh, heh.  This shouldn't be political.   
      
   Life is good,
