Hey Wilfred!

Not sure what help this will be to you but at least I can answer this;

 WvV> Do they still look ok on your end?

According to a method I occasionally use that ignores FTN kludges etc. the result shows here as "text/plain; charset=utf-8" and contains a BOM that you quoted from Michiel.  Also when viewing it all the characters look good.  However I have to wonder how your "CHRS: CP437 2" is going to affect apps that actually take the CHRS kludge seriously.  ;-)

I know of at least one web site that posts Fidonet messages that will grunge your message since utf-8 characters are NOT cp437.

Other than the above it is fine.

Life is good,
Maurice
