Indeed, utf-8 seems to be gaining deserved popularity.

I tried to read all of the archives before subscribing.

No wonder there are some Famous Names here!

Naturally.

I'm sorry, but are you sure that YahooGroups permits
attachments to messages passed through its system? Another
YahooGroup I subscribe to strips all attachments from
messages posted to it. Perhaps that is the moderator/owner's
choice. Indeed, being able to include attachments would be
lovely.

How nice! Sorry if I missed those when I signed on; actually,
that was some time ago, and apparently directvinternet.com
regarded all messages from Qalam as spam. :(
