Hello Vitaliy!

 VA> It could be both. Could you please show your xlat setup?

GOLDED is showed as Group B
in cfg (this is the latest, changed also based on the latest advice)

GROUP B
XLATPATH /home/fido/golded/xlat
XLATCHARSET CP437 LATIN-2                       asc_il2.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-2 CP437                       il2_asc.chs

 VA> BTW, luit works for me. Only difference is that my FidoNet charset is
 VA> KOI8-r.

It is working for me in local, czech echomail.

 VA> As for UTF - it's not supported and might "work" if you do some weird

 VA> cp437 or ISO8859-2 in your case.

Where I am reading, usualy they use English. Then pure ASCII should be enough. And I would be OK even for some exceptional scrambled messages. But why some Subject lines are impacted? I see whole message OK, just that line has copied over 4 bytes. Always the same position.

No problem. Have that since years. I just started to wonder if somebody else can see that. Take is as the lowest prio.

I checked code already, for some "quick win" - but I am not c-guy = nothing found by myself.

Thank you for any help.
