Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in netmail to Ardith Hinton:

Years ago, when you were communicating via 2:5030/2404
*and* using a different message editor, you replied to
me & to various others in the echo with our own words
identified quite clearly & appropriately.

Yes, that's the ticket! It's been a long time since I tried GoldED ... but I was quite sure any version would let you quote in such a manner. :-)

I'm also quite sure, from noticing what tends to happen WRT various
French & German accent marks which are still used occasionally in English, that
although many people who want to be able to type in Russian prefer CP866 2 they
often switch to Latin-1 2 or IBMPC 2 when they want to communicate with readers
from Over Here. I make references to French because a lot of educated Russians
understand the language. But I spell out words such as caf‚ (c- a- f- e acute)
when I'm writing in English because other folks from Russia have indicated they
have difficulty reading them. IOW, there are ways around such things & they're
the least of my worries in your case.

AFAIC the remaining issue is why you can't answer messages from the
E_T echo or the COOKING echo in the same place. If there is a misconfiguration
somewhere between here & there, I'm not qualified to fix things like that. ;-)
