And this reply is being written using        >> a UTF-8 terminal.               RS> And this reply is being written using a UTF-8 terminal with some        RS> actual non-ASCII characters:              All three of your messages have non-ASCCI charcters. They all have the degree       character '°' in the sign off, or whatver you call it. In the last message it       is also present in the message test before the "--" (two dashes).               RS> Norco, CA WX: 42.0°F, 79.0% humidity, 0 mph NE wind, 0.15 inches        RS> rain/24hrs              Considering that the CHRS kludge applies to the entire message, I think it is       more logical to look at the entire message including header, footer en origin       lines to determine the encoding.              Other than that: my comment was on Chris' message that was a quote-reply to my       message. He quoted the UTF-8 encoded text but the reply was in CP437 thereby       messing up the quote.              Chris seems to have a preference for doing away with "legacy" encodings, so I       was a bit surprised that his reply was encoded in CP437 instead of UTF-8.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: Michiel's laptop (2:280/5555.1)       SEEN-BY: 106/201 114/705 123/120 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17 30 227/114 229/111 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 307 317 426 428 470 700 240/1120 5832 250/5 8 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5555 292/854 8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 341/66 234 410/9 423/120 460/58 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 770/100 340 772/210 220 230 5019/40 5020/1042 12000       PATH: 280/5555 464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
