Subject: [sup-talk] UTF-8 in replies?

I wrote a message containing a lot of czech characters (using vim as my
editor). When ':wq'-ing from vim, Sup showed me the horrible
results... aparently it did not recognize, that the message was in UTF-8
(as indicated by 'file' when giving it vim's temporary file).

And apparently it doesn't seem to be possible to tell Sup either to add
an encoding to the message?

Using sup 0.6 from "gem install sup"

Sup is currently utf-8 only, but getting curses, utf-8 and ruby to play
nicely together still requires some work on your part.
