Given that mIRC has had utf8 support for quite a while now, can we finally have utf8 encoding fully turned on by default instead of partially turned off by default? (ie, enable all the multibyte options in a new install, and have windows have their utf-8 option set to "display and encode" by default instead of "display" only).
Alternatively, as a holdover until a real decision can be made on whether to force new users to accept utf8 over their locale codepage, could we add an option to the installer that offers users this choice. something along the lines of "Enable all UTF8 functionaly by default" with a checkmark for the installing user to decide whether they want mirc to set everything for him/her, or whether they want to stick with their codepage instead.
