You just did send utf-8 mail. Well, UTF-8 is a proper superset of
US-ASCII, so every ascii stream is a valid utf8 stream. That's one of
the advantages of migrating to it instead of a different Unicode
encoding.

Oh, cool! And now that I know how to set X resources (to make xterm
look decent), and it supports my scroll wheel, I can ditch
gnome-terminal. If you put
xterm*utf8: 1
in ~/.Xdefaults you'll get unicode support without specifically
running 'uxterm' instead of 'xterm'.
If you want to test it with vim, first run ":set enc=utf8" so it
output utf-8 encoded characters. Then in insert mode type ^VuXXXX
where ^V is Ctrl-V and XXXX is the hex value of the character. Eg for
the Euro, '20ac'.
Thanks for mentioning this Colin!

Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
