- Cute! Where'd you get that?

- Is there a way to edit/e-mail/news-post messages in various non-Latin
- alphabets - say Hebrew, Cyrillic and Tamil - concurrently.
-
- While I'm certainly no expert on the topic, I culled the following
- from the MIME "RFC" (labeled "RFC-XXXX" on my copy, although rumor has
- it it's gotten a real number by now). These are for use in the type
- text/plain, at least. It might be supported with text/richtext, too
- -- I didn't check that closely.
-
- The defined charset values are:
-
- US-ASCII -- as defined in [US-ASCII].
-
- ISO-8859-X -- where "X" is to be replaced, as
- necessary, for the parts of ISO-8859 [ISO-
- 8859]. Note that the ISO 646 character sets
- have deliberately been omitted in favor of
- their 8859 replacements, which are the
- designated character sets for Internet mail.
- As of the publication of this document, the
- legitimate values for "X" are the digits 1
- through 9.
