I have a draft of an FAQ on MIME, the Internet multimedia mail format.
It was posted to comp.mail.mime, but if you missed it there or would
like teh current draft please drop me a line. 

I have two parts of the FAQ I'd like to fill out with answers.

First is the internationalization part - if you have details or
experience or working software that properly handles any language
other than net.english, please mail me details.  Preferably or
ideally mail me details in a MIME message in your native language,
with all character sets tested so far as they go.

Second is the interaction of MIME and netnews.  I have heard rumblings
of MIME support in both INN and C news, and have seen code that
glues MIME support into GNUS.  If you have projects or working code
please let me know.  If there's language for son-of-1036 in the
works that would be useful too.  Of particular interest is code
that copes gracefully with the existing news systems that aren't
net.english, ie. fj.*, relcom.*, sfnet.* in a way that's consistent
with MIME encodings.

thanks muchly,
