Tim,

Next time you have a problem like this, and indications of origin like
the ".tw" at the end don't clue you in, try "view source" (or similar)
in your news reader, and look for a Content-Type like this:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="big5"

You should then be able to adjust the encoding config in your news
reader.

HTH,
John
