Hey August!

 AA> The hebrew letters appear to be fine under my nntp read Sylpheed.

Yes and no.  Notice where it split the line.  That is why I didn't use it as
an actual Subject and kept it in the msg_body just to ensure it would be
lossless.  It's one thing to strip off characters at the end of a line but
when characters at the start of the line disappear, it make it more difficult
to fill in the blanks.

 AA> However, an nntp reader is outside the scope of what fidonet is.

Agreed, and that is a good thing methinks.  I've always disliked newsgroups.

 AA> Solution: FTS should limit utf-8 chars only to the message body
 AA> only.

That appears to be the case.  So far I seem to be the only one who has a
half-assed handle on this obvious problem.

 AA> it seems that utf-8 was "approved" without the evidence of ample
 AA> usage of utf-8.

More reason NOT to let developers lead the standardization process, nevermind
the users of their apps.  There is definetly a confict of interest, nevermind
the ones who are clueless as to how things REALLY work.

 AA> No comment.

Heh, heh.  This shouldn't be political.

Life is good,
Maurice
