Hi Maurice,

On 2020-11-15 14:03:51, you wrote to me:

No your wrong, it works according to the fidonet standard.

Keep fighting those windmills! ;)

That's true. Although "people" should be "software".

But it does! Editors can and will use the flag to display the text in the
message body in the right character set. I know golded can when properly
configured.

 MK> Just like the FTSC.  ;-)

If you don't like what they do, you should join them, so you can change that!
;)

There are no African nodes anymore nor Portugese, but there are nodes in the
UK.

Bye, Wilfred.
