Depends on what you mean with "systems". Forté's newsreader "Agent" can
handle Latin-9 in the newest version; it's very convenient when reading
europa.union.euro since that way I can insert a euro symbol in a
standard way. There's also a patch which enables MS Outlook Express to
handle Latin-9.

My mail reader, Pegasus, doesn't handle Latin-9, though -- nor anything
besides Latin-1, apparently. (Not even UTF-8, which will probably
become increasingly important.)
