	As for the pedantry, I'm curious, since when has a lone \351
	acquired a defined meaning in UTF-8?  (As opposed to:
	ISO-8859-1.)

[...]

	Well, I have to admit that this message is more a response to
	news:51aec8bf$11$fuzhry+tra$mr2ice@news.patriot.net (posted in
	news:news.software.readers, where I hereby cross-post), which I
	haven't managed to answer back then, and do it now.

	(And the last time I've checked, which was perhaps a decade ago,
	though, trn had no MIME support whatsoever.)

	My point is that it's not the /lack/ of culture, it's the people
	who still adhere to the considerably older culture of "Usenet
	without MIME."

PS.  Not to mention that the "American Usenet" has seen an extra decade
	of "MIME-less" operation as compared to the "Russian Usenet."
