Re: tlug: FXMail 1.2 -> 1.3

No. I just know one word of it: Shalom. I know they use kind of
an alphabet. Then my knowledge stops. Sorry. The only languages
I am in command of are German ( of course... ), English, French
and Japanese......

I have to admit that this kind of thing is pretty much overt my
head.....however, after what I have learned in this list I
wonder whether it wouldn't be a good idea to agree on four byte
character spaces at least in the free software world - this
would leave enough headroom for all the character sets around.
Also, the approach Niibe-san envisages makes a lot of sense to
me. However, I am not much of an expert in internationalization
- I came into computing from the hardware side ( I started out
as a radio communications expert and this explains why I have a
strong inclination towards digital signal processing ).

A personal note aside: I do not even know to much extent I am a
descendant of Jewish ancestors because many of the documents
containing our ancestry have been destroyed in 1933 by a family
member in order to protect the family from Nazi access. But this
is pretty much off - topic, I guess.
