Please be kind to us poor beginners! I have no ideas on how to convert ^ to Th
or anything similar. Being the only Norwegian in the company (I think), I am
pretty sure I cannot get a request through to include this on our system. Some
day I might be able to make my own conversion in my own directory, but until
then, I would appreciate being able to read mail & news from my Scandinavian
friends. Most of them use oe, ae, and aa as substitutes, and it works very 
well. We use 7-bits, and from what I hear, this is no longer any good. Am I
about to loose touch with my old country / continent? 
Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds, but I thought I'd remind all you whiz's out
there that there are a few people who call themselves "users," and do just 
that - use the facilities provided. Please be gentle!
