Though I agree with you, it is an ideal solution. As Stephen said, there are people who use raw 8bit characters (intended to be KOI8-R). If you could force them to use "right" MUAs, I would fully agree with you. Anyway, in the current set-up of lists.debian.org, encodings such as GB2312 and BIG5 (used in debian-chinese-gb and debian-chinese-big5, respectively) are not supported and processed just like raw 8bit characters. We also have to deal with them. I am now interested in MHonArc::UTF8.pm . I had been thinking that it converts all UTF-8 characters (besides ASCII) into &#xxxx; expression and doesn't support east Asians, which was wrong. It seems to convert *from* all non-UTF8 encodings *to* UTF-8 and seems to support east Asians also (because Unicode::MapUTF8 supports east Asian encodings). --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
