Hey Nicholas!

It looks good here.  If it added a "Re: ", like some so-called FTN software does, then it would have stripped bytes from the rightmost which in this case is wrong since the rightmost is the beginning not the end.  I believe the "Re: " thingy is a QWK standard and not really a FTN standard that I am aware of.  I could be wrong about this but I don't believe so.

Bottomline is your software can properly handle utf-8 codes no matter where (msg_header in this case) or the msg_body.  You have my seal of approval ... for what it's worth.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
