   These are my settings:   
      
   Code Page: Western Europe (Codepage 1252)   
   Send Usenet As: Western Windows-compatible (us-ascii, ISO-8859-1)   
   Default Charset: ASCII   
   Usenet Text: 7bit / 8bit   
      
   Code Page doesn't have any other options in the dropdown box. (I   
   wouldn't choose "Western Europe" voluntarily.)   
      
   For Send Usenet As, I have eight other options to choose from. 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.
