Re: tlug: kterm/kinput2 conversion

["Eric S. Standlee" <fwiw3980@example.com>]

I was just wondering, why does it seem that most other OS's use SJIS and
NewSJIS, while most Linux users use EUC.  I run into the problem that when
I email to non-Linux users they get mojibake.  Should I switch to SJIS for
everything?  Is there an easy way to handle mass conversion of already
existing files?
