Hello Nicholas Boel!

Correct.  For one thing, UTF-8 is limited to the Windows  
charsets supplied.

UTF-8 is supported on the inbound and outbound in nntp mode.   
But only in the inbound in Fido mode.

Not necessarily so.  Look in Config/Options/Message Reader:

┌─ Internal message reader options ────────────┐
│                                              │

│  Viewer for URLs  H:\ProgramFiles\Palemoon\► │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

And also look in Config/Options/Editor:

┌─ Editor setup ───────────────┐
│                              │
│  Right margin    63          │
│                              │
│  End of line marker   · ↓    │
│                              │
│   [x]   Auto indent          │
│   [x]   Persistent Blocks    │
│   [x]   Quote-Reflow         │
│                              │
│   [x]   Enable Ctrl-X/C/V    │
│                              │
└──────────────────────────────┘


 NB> It definitely has a lot of features - as well as multiple

It's very versatile. It's an email/nntp/fido client all in one.

You can even define an external editor if you want.
