Usually I do see unicode characters correctly. My news client defaults to *sending* in ISO-8859-1 (US acsii), but it displays incoming messages in UTF-8, and in HTML if applicable ... so I'm not sure why I'm not seeing whatever it was that you actually typed. It does keep coming through as a question mark in all the responses. I read this group through the Gmane mail->news reflector ... maybe that has something to do with it? George
