I forgot to mention that this is a CVSNT 2.0.58d server. Are there any
changes to this behaviour in newer versions?

I know the version is old, but when I tried to update the last time an
unicode issue hindered me. And as I found out on this list especially
the scripting was in fast movement. Is there a collection of notes
about scripting support and changes between versions?

Thanks for your comments,
