Probably just the quoting part. I'm currently using slrn (a console based NNTP
newsreader) that handles the messages themselves. When I reply/follow-up to a
message it craps the message out to a text file which I pick up in vim or
nano. Obviously, standard newsreader quoting etiquette is applied with no
fancy FTN stuff going on.

Looks promising!

I'd say! This program could definitely help out the yearly UTF-8 "Merry
Christmas/Happy New Year" post by possibly dang near doubling it. :)

While reading the list of languages in your post (I'll assume mine is close to
the same, so refrained from posting it), I caught "Javanese" and had to look
it up. Learn something new every day! :)

Regards,
Nick
