   I don't understand the problem. In these days, (nearly) any web page   
   and usnet posting uses utf-8 character encoding. Also your posting   
   uses utf-8;   
      
   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed   
   User-Agent: tin/1.6.2-20030910 ("Pabbay") (UNIX) (CYGWIN_NT-10.0   
   WOW/2.8.0(0.309/5/3) (i686)) Hamster/2.0.2.2   
      
      
   There shouldn't be any problem when you copy text from a web page and   
   past it into an usnet posting. There is only a problem if you   
   convert the utf-8 text into "something else" and then paste it   
   into the posting. You don't solve a problem, you create a problem.   
      
      
   Just post a link to a web page which has a problem with copy&paste   
   text into an usnet posting.
