Dear List,

	THX again for all your explanations and remarks, although
	I'm not a TCL/TK expert :-(

	If I downgrade the TCL/TK used by exmh to :

			tcl-8.5.13-2.fc19.i686
			tk-8.5.13-2.fc19.i686

	then all is fine with utf-8 message contents since I can
	read iso10646 characters. But... folder table of contents
	display is ugly since some lines are completely missing
	or are partially erased :-( Depends of which charset was
	used for sending those messages ...

	If I give a try to tcl/tk version 8.6.0, I loose the
	iso10646 font display when reading utf-8 messages, too
	bad ! But FTOC display now looks pretty acceptable.

	Anyone out there did play with latest TCL/TK 8.6 version ?
	Did he/she get rid of this utf-8 trouble ?  Best regards,

-Émile
