    Would it be possible (I mean, not too difficult) to make GoldEd+ use, when replying to a message, the same encoding as the message being replied to?

    I normally use UTF-8, but sometimes I prefer to reply in LATIN-1 or CP437, if I know that the recipient's software cannot do the proper translation.

    This is how I'm currently doing: I have several GoldEd shortcuts, each one loads its own mini-config file (that includes the main one)

    C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cgedlatin1.cfg
    ===[gedlatin1.cfg]===
    INCLUDE golded.cfg
    XLATEXPORT LATIN-1
    COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON BLUE
    =====================

    C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cged437.cfg
    ===[ged437.cfg]======
    INCLUDE golded.cfg
    XLATEXPORT CP437
    COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON RED
    =====================

    C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cgedutf8.cfg
    ===[gedutf8.cfg]=====
    INCLUDE golded.cfg
    XLATEXPORT UTF-8
    COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON GREEN
    =====================

    I have different colors for the status line at the bottom, so that I can easily remember which charset I'm using at the time. :-)
