According to RFC 3977 (Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)): "o Although this specification allows UTF-8 for newsgroup names, they SHOULD be restricted to US-ASCII until a successor to RFC 1036 [RFC1036] standardises another approach. 8-bit encodings SHOULD NOT be used because they are likely to cause interoperability problems." - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977#section-10 Best regards, Adam -- "Gav Adam Sjøgren Strik" asjo@koldfront.dk
