Hello Nicholas.

26 Feb 24 16:50, you wrote to me:

 ?aVA>>>> too.

 ?aWvV>>> I don't have any in my standard configuration. But if I

Yes. You need to use translation in this case. The problem is that GoldEd may
translate from one byte charset to UTF-8, but not in reverse direction yet.
That mean that you'll be able to read messages, but not write them. Actually,
you'll be able to write them if no symbols with codes > 127 are used. But CHRS
kludge in message will look like UTF-8 2.
