Hello,

Well, I've managed to overcome the other difficulties I was experiencing with 
JAMNNTPD, and now the only pending issue is that apparently the latest version 
of Mozilla Thunderbird overrides the default text encoding you configure at the

newsgroups account with UTF-8 when you are composing a message, hence it 
complains that I am trying to send a message using UTF-8, which is not 
supported.

In that case, I need to change manually the text encoding to ISO-8859-1 every 
time I compose a message, as it's always set to UTF-8.

Considering that a lot of people here use Thunderbird, how did you manage to 
overcome that? Is there any .chs file for UTF-8 that could be used? Any 
comments will be appreciated.
