Strange. When I watch the message myself on the yahoogroups page 
(<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/romconlang/message/239>) and then switch
manually to Central European (Windows) encoding, I can watch it properly. I
guess I'll never be able to understand this whole encoding thingy...

Anyways, I use non-Latin-1 text only because Polish and Wenedyk look horrible
in ASCII. When I noticed that I started posting less about Wenedyk because I
didn't recognise my own language in my messages, I decided to go non-Latin-1
after all. But if anyone is really interested and has a problem reading it, I
am always prepared to make an ASCII-friendly version. Just let me know.
