Actually this was not my intention :) Err.. I mean I can do it
partially but my main attempt would be first to have it set to UTF-8 for
my mail/usenets exchange.
But why not, in a near future, I could be interested to just migrate
definetely and get rid of all this bad mixture iso-soup encoding.
So to ask again: is it safe to use any subset of the Unicode system to
communicate on Usenets and more generally for the mail exchange ?
