Hey Nicholas!

 NB> I believe this client forces utf-8 when posting, which is fine.

From the PID I am gathering the client is nttp based.  I've run across similar
strategies here and there.  The output looks fine from this angle.

 NB> I do have other clients for testing purposes that can send it back
 NB> in CP866, but why?

Because we can?  Besides CP866 is one of the few encodings that they - whoever
'they' are - get right.

 NB> Be prepared to be in the fight for the long haul. :)

I've been doing so off and on and probably will continue as long as I have a
haul nevermind a long one.

Besides it isn't the size of the haul but the quality.  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
