Hello Nicholas.

26 Feb 24 16:50, you wrote to me:

Yes. You need to use translation in this case. The problem is that GoldEd may 
translate from one byte charset to UTF-8, but not in reverse direction yet. 
That mean that you'll be able to read messages, but not write them. Actually, 
you'll be able to write them if no symbols with codes > 127 are used. But CHRS 
kludge in message will look like UTF-8 2.
