I'd like to test this with the nntp backend, but I don't actually know if nntp is allowed to have multibyte group names. I've gone browsing through some publicly-accessible nntp servers and haven't found anything but ascii-compatible group names, even for servers at, eg, Taiwanese universities. Are multibyte group names even legal? Thanks, Eric
