    Nice. How does it handle attachments? Or UTF-8 encoding?

    No attachments, no UTF-8, not even linewrap.
    If I want to see the attachments, I use Pegasus Mail 3.5 for DOS, to
    read them.
    But if I want something much better, then I use Yarn as a nntp reader
    and composer, with UKA_PPP doing all the TCP interface.
    Lots of fun using this 80286 with a yellow hercules monitor.
    The OS: IBM's PC-DOS.
    I have been using this computer from the year 1990 ... never a single
    problem, just fun.
