People who are hanging off mailers that don't preserve the 8th bit get what they deserve, and the rest of the world will get a message that's readable with any X11 screen, pcvt console, or even Winglows ``terminal'' program. I beg to the person who's been doing this to revert the change. (I cannot track down the location; the message left my mailer and the next two mailers on my way with ``8bit'' encoding intact, so it must be somewhere on the way to freefall or back from it.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
