Well, I read somewhere that UTF-8 is the most portable way to specify UTF encoding, so if it works on my system I'd rather keep it. > BTW those locales are original Slackware, or recently built by you > thru localedef(8)? Practically nothing is original Slackware anymore here. I've upgraded my glibc from sources twice now, and installed all locales from the build process each time. My configure command-line isn't terribly interesting, either. I do --prefix=/usr and --enable-addons=linuxthreads, and I don't recall any other options off-hand. (Of course, I seem to have lost my build script, but I can reconstruct it in a few minutes by rereading the output of configure --help, if you want me to.) > >> Was the invalid byte raw in sent folder, on sent folder display, or > >> the copy/paste generated it? > > Please copy both mails to a temporary mailbox, gzip it, and send it > to me privately attached.

Hmm ... maybe I should swap in a pro-UTF signature line when I send UTF email? - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right? Please visit this link: http://rotter.net/israel
