1. Does it work with the digest?
2. I have the latest version on IE6 on XP and the accented letters show up only as squared boxes in the online archive.
3. I doubt seriously that searching will be easier using Unicode. The ASCII convention is easy, accepted and works good.
Today, still, you have to use ASCII, otherwise you can never be certain what they will see on their screen. I have recently changed to Unicode for a while, but got in all things of trouble because my communication partners (even publishing houses) didn't see it the way I had it.
Best wishes
