Or people who happen not to be ignorant unilinguists. ;-)

Actually the situation is slightly more complicated than that because
WinMX isn't a unicode program. It can only display low ascii + the _default_
character set (single) on your computer. In other words if you can
read Arabic, Japanese and Korean on your computer you can still only
pick _one_ of those to display in WinMX.
