   I'll try a reply with the Japanese one with OpenXP next.  I'm sure it will get   
   munged since OXP does not support UTF-8.  However, I do think it treats   
   newsgroups/nntp differently.  But I don't carry TUXPOWER as a nntp/newsgroup.   
      
   The Sylpheed gui is pretty good for most of this kind of messaging.  Latvian   
   would be my goto language if there was an audience.  But alas, there are many   
   more plentiful people who can manage English.

   I don't think Fidonet will ever be an enduring messaging system.  I think too   
   many people operate with GUI apps, and Fidonet messaging has simply not   
   reached that user-base.
