MT-Newswatcher has an improved version, 3.5.1 It was specially
made to deal with Luigi's posts. Now he can be seen by Mac folk
nice and big.

(Hey Sally, here was the fix you wanted... too late now probably
as you are likely happily ensconced elsewhere... and Leo, I
notice that Luigi's posts come up fine in my preferred but not so
when I reply? Must look into this...)

I don't see the problem. Try Preferences -> Languages. Set the first
menu/menu item to Western (Mac OS Roman), although it's probably already
there.
Then set the next two menu/menu items to Western (ISO Latin 1). I have
'Use article's character set for reply' checked for what it's worth.
Those are my settings, and I don't see the reply problem.
I don't readily see any other settings that would be applicable, and I
set the ones I'm mentioning long ago. Good luck, and the problem is
solvable even if I haven't here

Well, now I see the problem. Luigi is indeed unique. I can easily read
his text now if I choose to reply, but it's smaller than anybody else's
using UTF-8 that I have seen. No idea why.
But it's far more readable than it used to be in a reply situation. I'll
do a little checking myself.

Well, I have the exact conscious settings you have and when I hit
command R (reply) to Luigi, it is different to normal. I looked
at this reply and hit control with click and chose "Compose as"
and it was set - hard to believe - as "Japanese (Mac OS)" which I
changed to "Western (Mac OS Roman)" which did the trick for that
particular reply (the other way is to decode the original post as
I used to and the reply follows suit auto). Fun and games on my
machine eh? I will look a bit deeper into it later... might have
to trash prefs and stuff... At least the new version has this
advantage: I do not have to do anything to read the post well
(and not reply). Perhaps it is a message from my minders to not
talk so much.

Ah, so it is unique to him eh? Well, if TI or Els ever feel they
wanna say anything further to alt.html, we can test it on them...

But, but, you mean I should switch my newsreader back just so I can reply to
Luigi? That would certainly need a lot of thought. Too hot here to think at
all.

I have at least six news clients installed -- want to just borrow one of
mine? I wouldn't need it back right away.

(Yeah, I collect 'em like some people collect browsers.)

Wrong OS, I suspect. Otherwise tell me about your collection. I have a
lot of browsers but only three newsreaders in OSX. One is MT-Newswatcher
in the GUI and the others are slrn and tin in terminal. I had to
download slrn.
