    Hi from Crete..

I have just installed nn6.4, ( didn't apply any patches yet ) 
as an NNTP client and it seems to work fine.

The only problem we have is that nn cannot manipulate
8-bit characters. So, I failed to post an item with
Greek characters.
   But when I tried to read an item from our NNTP server
( a VAX 8600 running ANU-NEWS ) written in Greek, I could
read the headers of the item ( that were in Greek ) normaly,
but not the body of the item.

Is this situation normal, or there is a problem with my 
configuration?

Is there any patch that solves the problem?


Thanks a lot.
                             Strakantounas Kostas
