MvdV> UTF-8 16?  Do you mean UTF16?

I was referring to something that I vaguely remembered when someone here mentioned that the charset kludge that Thunderbird was using here was incorrect as "utf-8 2".  And I even remembered THAT wrong and wrote "UTF-8 4" in my message.  :(

Ah..  Good to know.   UTF-8 is good enough.

As long as my little foray into the upside down world is still allowed, then good!
