 BP> problem with jamnntpd is that it does not support multibyte,

You're right about JamNNTPd not supporting multibyte. It wraps lines at 79 bytes, not at 79 chars. Therefore those that have UTF-8 chars (2 or more bytes) become shorter when wrapped. The more UTF-8 chars a line has, the shorter.

This is noticeable in readers that don't support flowed text (most NNTP clients).

ASCII:
aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou aeiou

UTF-8:
áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú áéíóú
