Here is an example:

 Original text (iso-8859-1): Frække frølår
 UTF8:                       Frække frølår
 UTF7:                       Fr+AOY-kke fr+APg-l+AOU-r

For a hypothetical bad newsreader, the last is perhaps the easiest to
handle (only ascii-chars). For a human reader, I think utf8 is easier.


  Best regards,
