You wanted to use the software you have to communicate in English, so I
suggest you do just that instead of disrupting the communication with
useless off-topic complaints about character encodings.
If you had wanted to be able to see the non-English letters and
typographical characters that will occasionally appear in an
international forum, then I would have suggested that you download a
modern newsreader. If your computer is so old that you can't find a
modern newsreader that will run on it, then a few dollars should get you
a used Pentium � but there's no need since you wanted to keep your
current software.

In a typography newsgroup the use of French quotation marks in English
text might actually have been a valid reason to complain. In an Ada
newsgroup it's extremely picky.
