apparently you need to figure out how to tell nano what character set to use
when reading/writing messages... msged was good when tobias had it but it
really screwed up a lot of other things when that other fella came along and
started mucking about with the control lines and his "SOT" EOT" mess...

i think you mean "donald trump"... just think of donald duck any time you see
or hear of him and you'll keep it straight ;)

as for html encoding? GAK! Puke! no thanks... we have enough problems with
unicode and it is much better than html encoding which i'm going to assume you
mean mine encoding...
