Hello Michiel,

 AI>> The reply I am writting now will likely have a kludge like
 AI>> LATIN-1.

 MV> It does.

I think this one will too.

If I remember right I setup golded to use that because by default it uses
"UTF-8 2". Not quite correct but closer to the truth.

All of my terminals here are UTF-8 although I don't see UTF-8 correctly in any
of my readers, not on the BBS or when reading with golded.

I can setup golded to use an external editor and when I hit reply I see the
UTF-8 characters correctly.

 AI>> It's nothing to worry about. It is there so the person reading
 AI>> your mail can read it as expected.

 MV> But oddly enough Synchronat BBS anwers in CP437 when quote replying to
 MV> an UTF-8 encoded message...

Synchronet is generally good about the CHRS kludge but I guess it doesn't look
at the encoding of the reply. Perhaps it needs to be looked at.

 Ttyl :-),
