If you like strictly numeric time/date displays, that's all that's needed. I prefer to have the date shown with full names of months, so I have LC_TIME set to 'C' in my .bashrc. > > problems I have are when using a plain (i.e. not xterm) console, some > > characters don't display correctly.

I'm pretty sure that most MUA's, M$ and otherwise, already have full Unicode support. Any MUA that's used anywhere outside of the US would pretty much HAVE to have it in order to be used seriously. On the off chance that they don't, however, you don't really have to worry about it. All regular ASCII characters (i.e. all characters in the English alphabet) will still show up fine. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
