Yes. The only problem I have is that *all* my emails now get sent out
as utf-8. If the email is sent to me in latin1, it gets changed to
utf-8 and sent out as such. I am working in a utf-8 shell which
automatically converts everything to utf-8. I can't change this.
I know this isn't perfect because others with non-utf-8 aware encoding
won't be able to read them, but I will have to live with this
imperfection. I think this slight flaw is better than what I had
before, in which someone sent me a utf-8 file, and I would reply in
ASCII and garble everything.
Thanks for your help
Paul
