Hello Nicholas,

orig.message to echo UTF-8 on 09 Mar 25  21:23:00

NB> What is unstable about it, if you don't mind me asking?

Not all sysops use correct CHRS kludge.
Moreover, there is some messages with two different charset (some SYNCHRO users) - message itself in UTF-8, but tearline uses CP437-encoded pseudographics.

>> or set the one and only encoding. Second way was chosen.

Yes. But no external iconv, pyhton internal decode/encode.

NB> I would love to see those "?" entries in DAILYUTF as "🖕" instead. At least
