I just tried weird password chars in a stock [EMAIL PROTECTED] client. I set it 
to:

UploadPassword=*,-#,.a

and it worked just like that. I think I had the file authentication.conf saved 
utf-8 encoded, so that is what seems to be required for weird password chars to 
work.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] client authors, is there a way to check whether it's utf-8 or 
whether it's something else that needs converting? Perhaps rather than dying if 
the user has a weird char in his password, you could tell him to save his 
authentication.conf as utf-8 file if authentication really fails...

My perl encoding skills are even worse than the rest of my perl knowledge...
Thanks
