Description LiuCougar 2004-01-27 04:54:20 UTC 
Version:           0.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 
OS:          Linux

line 115 in file knnntpclient.cpp (and many other places in the source codes)

name = QString::fromUtf8(line);

assumes all input from nntp is UTF8 encoded, but in China, we do always use other encodings, such as gbk etc.

So I think this should be an option: we can choose which encoding we are using to interpret the nntp inputs.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
