Hello Vitaliy,

Thank you!

Do you have any examples? 

As I mentioned, I'm using Golded with tmux, and besides CP437 ANSI or 'high
ascii' characters (which is a little better when I use 'xlatimport CP437', I'm
seeing characters like cyrillic, umlauts, dieresis, etc just fine. Granted,
once you get into Chinese or Japanese, there may be issues. But I haven't seen
much if any of that in Fidonet, so I'm not too worried about it. When posting
using an external editor, I am only limited to what the font I use actually
supports. Otherwise I can write the previously mentioned things just fine as
well.

Regards,
Nick
