Am I? But indeed it takes effort to get your terminals, locale, and charset settings just right.

And there are limitations. You can't display utf correctly. And you have to choose a native charset. Any character not supported by the charset, can't be displayed correctly. I can probably not view Russian messages correctly for instance...

Bye, Wilfred.
