 BP> problem with jamnntpd is that it does not support multibyte,

You're right about JamNNTPd not supporting multibyte. It wraps lines at 79
bytes, not at 79 chars. Therefore those that have UTF-8 chars (2 or more
bytes) become shorter when wrapped. The more UTF-8 chars a line has, the
shorter.

This is noticeable in readers that don't support flowed text (most NNTP
clients).

ASCII:
aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou
aeiou

UTF-8:
áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú
áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú
