Western       strict, Western allow Unicode, Western no Unicode, Unicode UTF-8,       Unicode UTF-7, ASCII-only, and a couple of sketchy-sounding Euro ones.              For Default Charset, I have ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, utf-7, utf-8, and       more sketchy-sounding ones.              I can change Usenet Text to MIME and Base64.              Anything I compose myself will be in pure 7-bit ASCII, but when I       copy'n'paste, there is liable to be some 8-bit stuff. My newsreader's       editor turns a lot of it into garbage that I remove by hand, but       sometimes it leaves things like curvy quotation marks and apostrophes       as-is. Tell me what you recommend that I do, preferably other than       more editing by hand. E-mail me if it makes more sense.              David Carson              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
