OmniWeb 2.0 beta 1 is now available

[Borre Ludvigsen]

A note from the world outside ASCII: after the abuse we have been put 
through over the years by the various "standards" imposed by DEC, IBM and 
Apple - to mention but a few - we finally have a reasonably accepted set of 
standards from ISO for translating character sets. The latest NetScape 
even has optional configurations for non-Latin sets. Virtually all modern 
mailers understand MIME and ISO-Latin charactersets at least.

If your mailer is configured correctly - you should not see (or send 
non-translatable codes like "=20"). On a NeXT I would recommend Pine as a 
shell visual mailer (compiles out of the box) or NeXT Mail with MIME 
enabled for a GUI mailer.
