Oh, the Ransom-ware thing?

Then, please contact me if you want an Italian translator; I will be 
glad to help ([email protected] works, but you may want a «real»

I found 1.5.5b2 on SourceForge, it's still there :)

WOW! Great, thanks!

Best way would be checking the best suitable charset in a 
(configurable?) list, going from US-ASCII to the various ISO-8859-x 
sets. If you plan to support chinese/japanese users and such, then 
also UTF-8 should be one of the choices. Anyway, even the ability (as 
in 1.5.5b2) to choose the charset in Locale prefs (or, better, in 
Newsgroup pref!) could be enough for us...

If you want some expert people to help you decide the best way to 
implement this thing, I'd advice asking in news.software.readers. 
Also, you could take a look at this:
http://plamaiziere.free.fr/download/mproxysrc.zip
It's the source code of MIME-Proxy, a local proxy used to insert the 
right MIME headers in messages sent by non-RFC-compliant newsreaders.

> I am particularly mulling over how best to use color...

I was just thinking about a different color for quoted text, maybe 
also for read articles, but I guess you could find more useful 
features :)
