Thanks Andrew. Unfortunately, I messed with readmaps.is1 and writmaps.is1
to enable the LATIN-1 settings, and it even though when I loaded Msged up,
it told me I was using LATIN-1, it didn't seem to take in my kludges. :)

That's okay. After messing with Golded+ so much, it seems as though I like
it better anyways, so I'll probably stick with this one.

I'm willing to be a lot of the issues with Golded that I'm having with the
charsets is because I'm running Golded in console. From what I can tell I'm
running a complete UTF-8 system, and can load up the UTF-8 test page
website in links, which shows russian, most of the greek, and a lot of the
special characters just fine, yet in Golded, I can only see them in true
UTF-8 posts from others. I'll have to live with it for a bit I suppose. I'm
not putting X on my server machine. :)

Regards,
Nick
