I never said I don't care.  I do like the automatic rendering of UTF-8 using
Thunderbird reader.  However, there is a problem in my OpenXP (originally a
German program). Not sure about UTF-8 in WinPoint.

Thanks for the link.  Looks good.  I will check it out, later.

I am *not* a native English speaker.  ;)   French is a third language, but
hardly fluent.  Wanna guess my first?

I concur. UTF-8 = a good thing!
