this is a no go !

i will share my xlat table again:

   ----- xlat begins -----
# Charset configuration for JamNNTPd using Unicode

# It is necessary to still have the "read" translations for the charsets you
# will be posting in or JamNNTPd will not be able to translate the receiver 
# name properly. Unfortunately posting in utf-8 is not possible at this time.
