'Zdravstvujte', Maksym.
Thank you for your message. I must have missed your reply
in the TBUDL, which I receive in digest form, but I am not
sure why I did not receive your personal e-mail. ('Izvinite,
pozhalujsta'.)In my original message, I wrote that I could not get a Unicode, KOI-8-encoded signature text file to work with The Bat! 3.0.
On Thursday, 30 September 2004, you suggest, Maksym:
MK> Well, I would consider the following as a possible MK> solution. Save your signature file as non-Unicode MK> Windows Cyrillic. Use some (re-)encoding software to MK> make it KOI-8. Use %COOKIE="C:\pushkin-signature-your- MK> plain-non-unicode-koi8-r.txt" :). MK> MK> I personally would recommend Decode by Boris MK> Berdichevskiy, MK> http://www.borisba.com/~borisba/decode21.zip....
I appreciate your suggestion, Maksym, and I have downloaded Boris Berdichevski's Decode 2.1, and will install it and try your suggestion. I will report back to the list, Maksym, with the results of my test. (Thank you, however, for your offer to send me the program via e-mail!)
If your suggestion works with recipients running Windows, it will indeed solve the problem with my friends in Ukraine and Russia, who all use Windows 98SE. I assume, however, that the "re-encoding" will cause problems for people running other platforms, but perhaps The Bat! actually will eventually support Unicode.
Finally, Maksym, I find it interesting that Boris works in Tel-Aviv, because I have a friend who teaches and lives in Tel-Aviv, as well as several friends in that part of Israel.
Thank you again, Maksym! ('Spasibo'!) :-)'Vsego horoshego'!
Cordially,
David
P.S. -- I hope the weather in your part of Ukraine is not too cool. The last report that I got from Odessa was of typical autumn temperatures for Odessa. (This weekend, the high temperatures should be at 16�C, with little chance of rain.) -- David M.
