Oo, my favourite! After about 20 years of the thing sitting on the
book shelf, I finally got around to reading it. Awesome creation

Kerno, most likely; possibly Talarian.

Easily handled. Whoever comes immediately before Frank must (if
his language includes diacritics) send an ASCII version. I.e.,
replace [a-acute] with a', [s-carrot] with s^. That sort of thing.
If Dalmatian uses diacritics that Frank can't create with his
mailer, he'll have to do something similar for the next person.
