Well, the original article didn't contain any information on which
charset to use.  In the absense of that American and Western European
programs choose ascii and its extension iso-8859-1.

Does anyone know, though, how to get Outlook Express (5.0) to declare
a different charset than those two in it's header?  Because I told it
that my last post in the thread is supposed to be Cyrillic, and it
displayed it Cyrillic, it had no charset information while still in
the outbox, yet when on the board it still had the good old "Content-
Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" in its header.

Of course I'm not interested in Cyrillic a lot.  But being able to en-
code one's posts Unicode might be useful occasionally.
