Hello Nicholas Boel!

 NB> Windows 11 supports utf-8 wherever it can for most things, as far as I
 NB> can tell. This seems to be the only program I'm having issues with.

 NB> I've also tried 'chcp 65001 >null && openxp.exe' from the command prompt,
 NB> as well as enabling 'Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language
 NB> support' in Settings > Languages and Region > Administrative language
 NB> settings > Change system locale. No matter what, the openxp window's
 NB> properties' current code page is set to 437, and can not be changed. I
 NB> wonder if this is forced in the Windows version?

Correct. Codepage 437 seems to be the norm.

However, the bottom line seems to be the font used for the  
terminal.  I use TT Lucinda Console.  The charset in there  
simply does not support the myriad of utf-8 things.


 NB> I'm currently tested in nntp mode only. I can read the messages fine, but
 NB> when I hit CTRL-Q the utf-8 text is quoted as all question marks - even
 NB> when passed to an external editor that supports utf-8 (notepad), and
 NB> Config > External > Editor has 'Editor Charset' set to utf-8.

 NB> Definitely confused on that one.

Again..  I do believe it's based on the limitations of the font  
selected for the terminal.


 AA>> Right margin    63

 NB> I have this set to 74 I believe (to allow for quoted initials), however
 NB> you can't set it to anything lower than 60 or higher than 77 anyways, it
 NB> seems (I had tried 0 to see if it would just send text to the edge of the
 NB> window).

I never really explored the limits like that. I just tweeked  
things until it looked right in the terminal.

BTW, if an incoming message arrives without s, then the  
message text *will* spread out to the edges.


 NB> There is also a setting in Config > Options > Miscellaneous of 'Line
 NB> Break' which is set to 79. According to F1 (Help), that only seems to be
 NB> for quoted lines and where it is to reflow those lines when they are
 NB> quoted.

Yes.. I was going to point out the context-sensitive F1 (Help).
