  • UTF-8 FidoNet - thank You for it

    From Mikoláš Jiří Panský@2:423/81.44 to All on Fri Oct 16 10:29:19 2026
    Dear All,

    I want to thank You for the UTF-8 FidoNet. For whole the time since
    I first used FidoNet (cca 1993 (?)). I missed the diacritics. Current
    usage of different encoding in different national conferences is well.
    But having encoding for all of us is just yet another step forward.

    I hope for newer UTF-8 conferences on given topics.

    Thank You very much and have a good day

    By any chance could You confirm this message has kludge too?
    I got lost in the sources and versions. So I hope this time
    it will be alright.

    Sending the actual mmail 0.51 utf-8

    * added kludge and seen-by to possible display
    * made CTRL+U to switch current conference to UTF-8 display
    * made the mmail version

    But having encoding for all of us is just yet another step forward.

    Understood. This is a human error we are dealing here with. On my side. ;-]

    I kindly ask You to verify once more time.

    Have a good day

    Mikoláš
