Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in netmail to Ardith Hinton:

            Yes, that's the ticket!  It's been a long time since I tried GoldED
.... but I was quite sure any version would let you quote in such a manner.  :-)

            I'm also quite sure, from noticing what tends to happen WRT various 
French & German accent marks which are still used occasionally in English, that 
although many people who want to be able to type in Russian prefer CP866 2 they 
often switch to Latin-1 2 or IBMPC 2 when they want to communicate with readers 
from Over Here.  I make references to French because a lot of educated Russians 
understand the language.  But I spell out words such as caf‚ (c- a- f- e acute) 
when I'm writing in English because other folks from Russia have indicated they 
have difficulty reading them.  IOW, there are ways around such things & they're 
the least of my worries in your case.

            AFAIC the remaining issue is why you can't answer messages from the 
E_T echo or the COOKING echo in the same place.  If there is a misconfiguration 
somewhere between here & there, I'm not qualified to fix things like that.  ;-)
