Ah yes.. If there is just ONE byte with bit 7 set that is not part of a well formed UTF-8 string, the entire text is considered legacy encoded. Notepad is very strict in that. And it isn't the only one. Winvi does the same. Fortunately the manual overrride to UTF-8 in Winvi is just one mouse click away.
Still... when used for Fidonet I say this behaviour is too stricht. The "CHRS UTF-8 ?" in the quoted message should be leading IMNSHO. If the quoted message is in UTF, the respons should also be in UTF whenever possible. Even if the quoted message contains a few bytes legacy encoding.
