AHA! So there was something I missed there. The char-set is UTF-8.


Yes, usenet seems split into people who hold-on to the view that it
should be kept 7 bit pure ASCII, and those who have moved on :-)


It's not a matter of opinion; there are parts of usenet that _are_ just
7 bit. If you want non-ASCII characters to pass through those bits,
you've got to encode them somehow - UUcode, MIME, and HTML all have
their followers and detractors. Adding headers that _say_ it's something
beyond 7-bit won't help the messages get through the more geriatric
parts of usenet unscathed.

I long for the commercialised Christmas of the 1970s. It's got so religious
now, it's lost its true meaning. - Mike [{at}ostic.demon.co.uk], 2003-12-24
