   Probably just the quoting part. I'm currently using slrn (a console based NNTP   
   newsreader) that handles the messages themselves. When I reply/follow-up to a   
   message it craps the message out to a text file which I pick up in vim or   
   nano. Obviously, standard newsreader quoting etiquette is applied with no   
   fancy FTN stuff going on.

   I'd say! This program could definitely help out the yearly UTF-8 "Merry   
   Christmas/Happy New Year" post by possibly dang near doubling it. :)   
      
   While reading the list of languages in your post (I'll assume mine is close to   
   the same, so refrained from posting it), I caught "Javanese" and had to look   
   it up. Learn something new every day! :)
