Hello, I'm not generally in support of extended charset for news but even in fr.* we now have some groups that accept UTF-n encoding (mainly UTF-8) because they deal with languages such as Japanese, Chinese or Greek. In our internal newsgroups at work (which I managed to keep on an INN server), we have people posting also in UTF-8 (Lookout Express and all that). It involves recognition of libiconv at Configure time and using it so it must be a bit more complicated to implement but it would be nice. What do you think Wayne? I admit that being on MacOS X with full UTF support in iTerm does something in my motivation in asking :) trn4 compiles and runs cleanly on 10.2/10.3 BTW.
