    I pulled a list of groups from my peers

    Can someone retrieve the requests for discussion and for vote that probably occurred before the 15th of December 1996?

    There are regularly posted checkgroup messages with the correct list of newsgroups and names.

    Beware that the GPG key was changed one or two years ago.

    Sorry for the bad encoding, this part of my archive came from
    archive.org with all diacritics replaced by a specific Unicode
    codepoint.

    Bonsoir Marc,

    There are regularly posted checkgroup messages with the correct list of newsgroups and names.

    Yes, and more specifically for the description of fr.comp.sys.mac.communication, it was last updated in late 2020.

    Two persons agreed with the proposal, and nobody complained:

    <rp7rom$ph5$[email protected]>

    https://usenet-fr.alphanet.ch/search/message-id/%[email protected]%3E/0

    <[email protected]>

    https://usenet-fr.alphanet.ch/search/message-id/%[email protected]%3E/0


    It can of course be updated again if a better description is needed
    though, like Nigel found out, the change won't occur in all news servers.

    I just meant this as an example. There's lots more in the fr. groups
    and other foreign language ones too. Encoding does seem to be a
    problem, there's one server that has completely different encoding and
    I think even the ISC newsgroups list has a mix.

    There's all sorts of encoding types when I look at the filetyped I've
    grabbed.

    Hi Nigel,

    Encoding does seem to be a
    problem, there's one server that has completely different encoding and
    I think even the ISC newsgroups list has a mix.

    FWIW, here is a UTF-8-encoded newsgroups file based on the one of the ISC:
    http://usenet.trigofacile.com/hierarchies/data/newsgroups.utf8


    As there no longer are control messages for hierarchies with non-ASCII characters encoded differently than UTF-8, maybe the ISC newsgroups file
    could be manually updated to be in UTF-8?
