To be pedantic, "the first 128 characters" of ASCII is the complete list of characters in ASCII, sincd it is a 7 bit code. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII Many of us, including me, use the colloquial term "high ASCII" for 8 bit characters with the high bit set (i.e. 128-255), though that is technically incorrect. But my REAL potential answer, and I don't even know if it is the solution, is that alpine may be the solution to your problem. Alpine is currently in development, and the latest release is .98 or .99 (I saw a mention of .99 on the alpine mailing list, but I don't remember seeing an announcement). One of the/the major feature of alpine is that it does Unicode internally, so I believe it will handle problems like this a lot better. Some of the developers, please correct me if this is wrong. _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
