I've been informed that others may have difficulty reading my posts because
I've been using UTF-8 encoding. Is this true?

I don't do Windoze so I really don't understand why people would would not be
using, or atleast be able to use UTF-8, and switch between these encodings as
required.

I'm able to read everything on the list except for my own posts when they are
quoted back to me by a person not using UTF-8. For me, the idea of not using
UTF-8 is dangerous. If I stick to UTF-8, I don't need to make special
accomodations when I write code such as XML processing programs. I have lost
weeks of valuable time fighting character encoding problems.

Are there other people who feel as strongly about this issue as I do? Is it
the consensus of the participants on this list that we should use
ISO-8859-1(5)? This will be difficult for me to accomplish, but If I must,
so be it.
