UTF-8: seems interesting in the first thought, but: - there are already plugins having ISO-8859-1 as default value - you can have invalid byte combinations for UTF-8, causing failures
ISO-8859-1 seems the best compromise. Hervé --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
