What HTML formatting? I can see no sign of it in
either my current web interface to usenet (see sig.),
nor the 'view source' mode of GG.

HTML formatting in usenet posts is quite annoying,
but I /think/ you misjudged this post.

Fine, my bad. I didn't check the headers. To the OP, I hope you were
able to use at least one piece of my feeble attempt to help. I don't
"support" eclipse, but I've had the exact same problem before and that's
what I did to make it work. Others may have better ideas, and that's
fine as well.

Some news clients, such as Thunderbird on Linux (Fedora Core 7) in my case,
use a different font for each different character encoding. I tell
Thunderbird to figure everything is UTF-8, but when it isn't (e.g., "gb2312")
then it (or the OS, not sure which) picks a different font from usual. I used
to think it was HTML abuse, too, until the headers convinced me otherwise.

Ahhh, the joys of technology. Who'd a thunk it.
