[bcab] which encoding should I be using?

Hi all,

For reasons which relate to a news group I belong to, I've
been looking at the encoding of messages I receive both on
lists and in News groups, and I have one question.

As someone who is recieving messages in plain text and using
a screen reader and magnification, I am having no problems
reading any messages I receive but I'm wondering what the
difference in encoding terms is between Western European ISO
and Western European Windows, and, which of those two
encodings I should either send messages in, or expect to
read messages in.

I apologise for such asking what may be a complicated
question.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Alexander Shannon
