Hi Aleksander,
For English-speaking countries UTF-8, in majority, means ASCII, they
can see no difference.
I don't think that's the case. Even North Americans, who have $ in
ASCII, still find ‘ ’ “ ” and … cropping up, especially when services
automatically convert ` ' " " and .... And then there's £ and €.
As an advantage they can use foreign names like Moebius in original,
this makes message more readable. But I'm afraid they wouldn't be
happy with message written in Russian, Chinese or Korean.
The UTF-8 fonts on systems like Linux, and I assume Windows and Mac too,
handle these just fine; Cyrillic, Chinese, and Japanese spam turns up
here daily and mhshow copes.
But restrict the entire nmh to utf-8 charset would cripple system.
What language/charset/locale is it that you have where UTF-8 causes
problems?
Cheers, Ralph.
