Hi rhn (???) and others, I really wonder how many people are even unable to write proper mails. Short: Read http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php and similar netiquettes and follow them! It cannot be so difficult, right?

I find using 7 bit replacements very very ugly and try to avoid it even if typing 8 bit charcters needs twice or even more time. It is really hard, using the German illume Keyboard is isn't even possible to insert "ß". To enter umlauts (öäü) you have to enter them as words and need to delete the inserted space after it, what a mess! I once adapted the terminal layout to properly match a German keyboard but did so in the filesystem and the next upgrade to illume made my changes vanish :-(( I have to do it again and send it upstream I know ... > > > > > > The remaining characters counter shows ~70 when it's a unicode > > > > > > message and > > > > > > ~160 when it's 7bit gsm. Heh, you mean once I enter ASCII text followed by a single 8 bit character the number of usable characters reduces immediately by 90?

The opposite "Wstalem z lozka" -> "Wstałem z łóżka" would be more welcome but is of course not unique/wanted in all cases ...
