I noticed that as well. Our estimed Fidonews editor has patched the software to
accept non-ASCII characters but he has neglected to specify the encoding for
submitted articles, From what I gleen the article was submitted using CP1252
Aka Centraal-Europees Windows. The articles are published with a "CHRS 850 2"
kludge.

That's where it goes wrong.

I suggest the editor accepts only articles encoded in UTF-8 and patches his
software to use a "CHRS UTF-8 4" kludge.


Cheers, Michiel
