Messages that use CHRS: LATIN-1 are not displayed properly in newsreaders (Synchronet's NNTP server renders them with the default charset=IBM437).

This fix may work: edit exec/load/newsutil.js, at line 77 insert

case "LATIN-1 2":
charset = "ISO-8859-1";
break;

If you want to test: áéíóú ñ (accented aeiou, n with tilde)
