    Hey August!

    So.. you're saying the 80char limit sucks?

    No.

    However CP437 obviosuly sucks no matter how many characters. You can keep it.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Hey Uncle Bob!

    Apologies to all Hebrew speaking peoples but in defence of the Subject line at least it strips off the end of the line and then space pads it to 71 bytes so the it reads right to left which is correct ... or so I think. We'll soon enough find out.

    For the record I think this sucks.

    So.. you're saying the 80char limit sucks?

    Yeah.. it sucks for Hebrew. But then, typical FTN message readers/editors are simply not the right tool when needing to communicate in Hebrew. ;)

    I'd add all human based languages including english.

    Ftn is a quirky network primary designed to support English. Nothing wrong with that. Along comes ftn<->nntp to facilitate utf-8; and combined with having dedicated echoes for specific languages, that can be fine - case in point, UTF-8 and ESP.ARGENTINA echos. Nothing wrong with that. People simply learn to use the tools and methods that suits them best.


    Anyhow, thanks for all the input. I've honestly learned much from this even though it went nowhere fast.

    :D
