   Hey Nicholas!   
      
    NB> Sounds like you've been expanding your horizons lately!   
      
   Lately?  This particular expansion officially got it's start back in 2012 but   
   it was earlier than that when I actually got it working ... utf-8 FTN echomail   
   that is.  The Ænglisc taglines were just in case some anal moderator pulled   
   an "English only" rules thingy on me.  As it turned out nobody touched it and   
   it continues to survive in it's original state.   
      
    NB> go ahead and install Windows, it doesn't bite.   
      
   Nor does it byte, or at least around here it doesn't.  To be quite honest I   
   haven't seen a window's box in a couple decades now.  Most everyone and their   
   dog is using Android over the last 20 years or so with the occasional Apple   
   device rearing it's ugly head every so often.   
      
    NB> through Google Translate   
      
   In this case that doesn't work given that Old English isn't supported by any   
   translation method that I am aware of.   
      
    NB> sent one back to you to see if you'd notice.   
      
   I saw it.  At first I thought you copied it from one of my messages.  For the   
   record I don't believe there are any copyright issues with them given their   
   age.  I believe the last official document written in Old English was bach in   
   1154.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
