Hello Carlos!

Sunday March 10 2024 08:45, you wrote to me:

 CN>>> Your CHRS kludge says UTF-8 but the body text is LATIN-1.

 FB>> How can I see that is LATIN-1?

 CN> I did by pressing Ctrl-J and selecting LATIN-1 to view it properly.
 CN> (In my GoldED+ setup I have conversions to CP850 from CP437, LATIN-1

Got it!
Many thanks! :)

 CN> You can check that it is LATIN-1 by viewing the hexdump (Alt-I) of
 CN> your message. You will see that, for example, the first one (ì,
 CN> lowercase i with grave accent) is hex EC. That's ISO-8859-1 (or
 CN> CP1252) AKA Fidonet LATIN-1.

Ok, I'll google for characters encoding tables. :)

GRAZIE CARLOS! :)

Ciao!
Fabio
